A Taxonomy of Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function Lobes for Rendering Engineers

as a function of the anisotropy of the scattering

For this we first needed a good Bidirectional Transmit- tance Distribution Function (BTDF) model. We are aware of only one such model in computer graphics based on the wave theory

We extend this idea by modeling light interference as a Bidirectional Re- flectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and precomputing the physically based surface response to

In this paper we will focus on the parallelization of the fol- lowing simplified problem: in view of the far-field outgoing radiance distribution of a light bulb and a reflector

The BRDF model that has been produced combines the anisotropic version of the specular scattering of light from the surface facets and the subsurface plate-like particles

A Green’s function solution to the fractional diffusion equation is studied and a result derived that provides a model for an incoherent image generated by light scattering from

However, simple local illumination models that only ac- count for direct light fail to capture a reasonable light distribution due to the variety of the cave system’s branching,

showed that light transport inside a new kind of heterogeneous microflake volume (anisotropic media) [JAM ∗ 10] leads to the bidirectional scattering distribution function (BSDF)
