Abstract

Bidirectional texture function (BTF) is 7D function of planar coordinates, spectral coordinate, and viewing and illumination angles, respectively. BTF is the recent most advanced representation of visual properties of surface materials. Unlike smooth textures, it specifies their altering appearance due to varying illumination and viewing conditions. This BTF visual appearance dependency on viewing and illumination conditions significantly complicates not only its acquisition, representation, and modeling but also makes its rendering noticeably more demanding. BTF textures are acquired by costly measurements of real materials and their subsequent nontrivial processing. While several techniques for measurement or processing of BTF textures have been described already, there is no environment allowing to support BTF texture rendering. This contribution describes novel Blender texture plugin for the purpose of BTF texture mapping and rendering. The plugin benefits from our previously developed BTF Roller texture enlargement method which is integral part of its implementation. The presented plugin allows to create realistic computer animations with additional BTF textures of any required size mapped onto an object surfaces while the other functionality of Blender retains.

Simulating painted appearance of BTF materials

Bidirectional texture function (BTF) provides a realistic representation for real-world materials; however, the representation does not allow users to append additional rendering effects to the BTF data in a simple and effective way. In this paper, we ...

Modeling and rendering of realistic feathers

We present techniques for realistic modeling and rendering of feathers and birds. Our approach is motivated by the observation that a feather is a branching structure that can be described by an L-system. The parametric L-system we derived allows the ...
