Digital modeling of material appearance /
Dorsey, J.
Digital modeling of material appearance / Julie Dorsey, Holly Rushmeier, François Sillion. - Amsterdam ; Boston : Morgan Kaufmann/Elsevier, ©2008. - 1 online resource (ix, 317 pages) : illustrations (some color) - The Morgan Kaufmann series in computer graphics . - Morgan Kaufmann series in computer graphics. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 277-302) and index.
'Chapter 1 Introduction -- Chapter 2 Background -- Chapter 3 Observation and Classification -- Chapter 4 Mathematical Terms -- Chapter 5 General Material Models -- Chapter 6 Specialized Material Models -- Chapter 7 Measurement -- Chapter 8 Aging and Weathering -- Chapter 9 Specifying and Encoding Appearance Descriptions -- Chapter 10 Rendering Appearance'.
Computer graphics systems are capable of generating stunningly realistic images of objects that have never physically existed. In order for computers to create these accurately detailed images, digital models of appearance must include robust data to give viewers a credible visual impression of the depicted materials. In particular, digital models demonstrating the nuances of how materials interact with light are essential to this capability. This is the first comprehensive work on the digital modeling of material appearance: it explains how models from physics and engineering are combined with keen observation skills for use in computer graphics rendering. Written by the foremost experts in appearance modeling and rendering, this book is for practitioners who want a general framework for understanding material modeling tools, and also for researchers pursuing the development of new modeling techniques. The text is not a "how to" guide for a particular software system. Instead, it provides a thorough discussion of foundations and detailed coverage of key advances. Practitioners and researchers in applications such as architecture, theater, product development, cultural heritage documentation, visual simulation and training, as well as traditional digital application areas such as feature film, television, and computer games, will benefit from this much needed resource. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Julie Dorsey and Holly Rushmeier are professors in the Computer Science Department at Yale University and co-directors of the Yale Computer Graphics Group. Fraṅois Sillion is a senior researcher with INRIA (Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et Automatique), and director of its Grenoble Rh̥ne-Alpes research center. * First comprehensive treatment of the digital modeling of material appearance; * Provides a foundation for modeling appearance, based on the physics of how light interacts with materials, how people perceive appearance, and the implications of rendering appearance on a digital computer; * An invaluable, one-stop resource for practitioners and researchers in a variety of fields dealing with the digital modeling of material appearance
