Abstract The Bidirectional Texture Function (BTF) is a data‐driven solution to render
materials with complex appearance. A typical capture contains tens of thousands of images …

Many different techniques for measuring material appearance have been proposed in the
last few years. These have produced large public datasets, which have been used for …

We present a model to measure the similarity in appearance between different materials,
which correlates with human similarity judgments. We first create a database of 9,000 …

We present MIPNet, a novel approach for SVBRDF mipmapping which preserves material
appearance under varying view distances and lighting conditions. As in classical …

Reproducing the appearance of real world materials has been a long standing problem in
computer graphics. Among them, fibrous materials such as cloth, remain as some of the …

Volumetric micro-appearance models have provided remarkably high-quality renderings,
but are highly data intensive and usually require tens of gigabytes in storage. When an …

Prefiltering the reflectance of a displacement-mapped surface while preserving its overall
appearance is challenging, as smoothing a displacement map causes complex changes of …

Surface reflectance of real‐world materials is now widely represented by the bidirectional
reflectance distribution function (BRDF) and also by spatially varying representations such …

Observing and recognizing materials is a fundamental part of our daily life. Under typical
viewing conditions, we are capable of effortlessly identifying the objects that surround us …

Physical simulation and rendering of cloth is widely used in 3D graphics applications to
create realistic and compelling scenes. However, cloth animation can be slow to compute …
