Abstract

We discuss the theory and practical issues behind creating reflection models to show the difficulty of the problem. We survey the current approaches towards reflection models for computer graphics to show that even for simple surfaces, the important issues are far from settled. We briefly discuss future directions for research. Finally, we present a case study of a particular type of light reflection that captures some important aspects of appearance for a limited class of materials with subsurface reflection.

Surface Reflection: Physical and Geometrical Perspectives

Reflectance models based on physical optics and geometrical optics are studied. Specifically, the authors consider the Beckmann-Spizzichino (physical optics) model and the Torrance-Sparrow (geometrical optics) model. These two models were chosen because ...
Toward a psychophysically-based light reflection model for image synthesis
SIGGRAPH '00: Proceedings of the 27th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques

In this paper we introduce a new light reflection model for image synthesis based on experimental studies of surface gloss perception. To develop the model, we've conducted two experiments that explore the relationships between the physical parameters ...
Models of light reflection for computer synthesized pictures
SIGGRAPH '77: Proceedings of the 4th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques

In the production of computer generated pictures of three dimensional objects, one stage of the calculation is the determination of the intensity of a given object once its visibility has been established. This is typically done by modelling the surface ...
