Misidentifying materials—such as mistaking soap for pâté, or vice versa—could lead to
some pretty messy mishaps. Fortunately, we rarely suffer such indignities, thanks largely to …

the present invention relates generally to methods and systems for image rendering in and
by digital computing systems, such as computer graphics methods and systems for motion …

Computer graphics systems are capable of generating stunningly realistic images of objects
that have never physically existed. In order for computers to create these accurately detailed …

The interaction between light and materials is key to physically-based realistic rendering.
However, it is also complex to analyze, especially when the materials contain a large …

This paper investigates rendering glittery surfaces, ones which exhibit shifting random
patterns of glints as the surface or viewer moves. It applies both to dramatically glittery …

BRDFs are commonly used to represent given materials' appearance in computer graphics
and related fields. Although, in the recent past, BRDFs have been extensively measured …

We present the first large-scale database of measured spatially-varying anisotropic
reflectance, consisting of 1,000 high-quality near-planar SVBRDFs, spanning 9 material …

The demands for digital 3D content for numerous applications such as video games, movies,
virtual prototyping, advertisement, virtual reality, augmented reality or even digital …

State‐of‐the‐art car paint shows not only interesting and subtle angular dependency but
also significant spatial variation. Especially in sunlight these variations remain visible even …

The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) formalism is commonly used in
computer graphics to represent surface reflection properties. Although many BRDF models …
