Appearance modeling is an essential task in computer graphics for capturing and
reproducing rich appearance of real world materials under different lighting and viewing …

Mimicking the appearance of the real world is a longstanding goal of computer graphics,
with several important applications in the feature film, architecture and medical industries …

Goniochromatic materials and objects appear to have different colors depending on viewing
direction. This occurs in nature, such as in wood or minerals, and in human-made objects …

We address the problem of modeling and rendering granular materials—such as large
structures made of sand, snow, or sugar—where an aggregate object is composed of many …

Simulating the appearance of woven fabrics is challenging due to the complex interplay of
lighting between the constituent yarns and fibers. Conventional surface-based models lack …

We 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 …

The goal of display and screen manufacturers is to design devices or surfaces that maximize
the perceived image quality, eg, resolution, brightness, and color reproduction. Very often, a …

Relating small-scale structures to large-scale appearance is a key element in material
appearance design. Bi-scale material design requires finding small-scale structures–meso …

Editing spatially-varying appearance is commonplace in most graphics applications. In this
paper, we focus on materials whose appearance is described by BRDFs or BSSRDFs, with …

Creating photorealistic materials for light transport algorithms requires carefully fine‐tuning a
set of material properties to achieve a desired artistic effect. This is typically a lengthy …
