Computer graphic rendering of 3 vases coated with colored metallic paint

Computer Graphic Rendering of Material Surfaces

 Computer graphic rendering of painted samples in a light booth

Images Rendered from NEFDS Data

Figures 9 through 12 are images of simulated objects coated with materials that appear in the NEFDS database. This was the first application of the enhanced rendering program iBRDF.

Figure 9: Three rendered vases using NEFDS data   Figure 10: Five rendered cubes using NEFDS data
Figure 9: Shows three rendered vases rendered from opitical measurements taken from NEFDS. Materials are lumber, paint, and aluminum (left to right). Textures are added to simulate spatial variation.   Figure 10: Five cubes. Top row use data from (left to right) cement and paint. Lower row: wood, aluminum and concrete. Textures are added to simulate spatial variation.
     
Figure 11: Three rendered vases using different reflection models   Figure 12: Three rendered vases using NEFDS data
Figure 11: Shows rendered painted vases using three different models. Scene depicts vases in a room with nine lights distributed along a ceiling in a 3x3 grid. The third vase depicts retro reflecting rough surface.

  Figure 12: Shows rendered vases in a room with nine lights as in Fig. 3. Materials modeled are concrete, paint, and camouflage (left to right).
