Evolution & Measurement of BRDFs in Computer Graphics: Empirical Models to Reflectance, Slides of Computer Graphics

An overview of the historical development of lighting and materials in computer graphics, focusing on the evolution of brdfs (bidirectional reflectance distribution functions) from empirical models to physically-based and time-varying reflectance. Various topics such as inverse rendering, static and time-varying brdf measurement, and taxonomy of aging materials. It also mentions relevant research papers and videos available on docsity.com.

Last week: Time-varying

BRDF

Time varying BRDF?: reflectance changes over time

Examples: ripening fruits & leaves, weathering, rust
