ABSTRACT
In this paper, we propose an appearance representation for general complex materials which can be applied in real-time rendering framework. By combining a single parametric shading function (such as the Phong model) and the proposed spatial-varying residual function (SRF), this representation can recover the appearance of complex materials with little loss of visual fidelity. The difference between the real data and the parametric shading is directly fitted by a specific function for easy reconstruction. It is simple, flexible and easy to be implemented on programmable graphics hardware. Experiments show that the mean square error (MSE) between the reconstructed appearance and real photographs is less than 5%.

Level-of-detail representation of bidirectional texture functions for real-time rendering
I3D '05: Proceedings of the 2005 symposium on Interactive 3D graphics and gamesThis paper presents a new technique for rendering bidirectional texture functions (BTFs) at different levels of detail (LODs). Our method first decomposes each BTF image into multiple subbands with a Laplacian pyramid. Each vector of Laplacian ...
Filtering and Rendering of Resolution-Dependent Reflectance Models
The apparent reflectance of a surface depends upon the resolution at which it is imaged. Conventional reflectance models represent reflection at a single predetermined resolution; however, a low-resolution pixel that views a greater surface area often ...

I3D '16: Proceedings of the 20th ACM SIGGRAPH Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics and GamesWe present a stable shading method and a procedural shading model that enables real-time rendering of sub-pixel glints and anisotropic microdetails resulting from irregular microscopic surface structure to simulate a rich spectrum of appearances ranging ...
