Computer Graphic Rendering of Material Surfaces

Computer graphic rendering of painted samples in a light booth

Project Results

  • Development of interfaces between reflectance measurements, models and rendering program - see iBRDF
  • Developed prototype rendering system based on the NEFDS database of optical reflectance measurements
  • NIST measurements used to simulate appearance of coated materials using iBRDF
  • Materials with specified ASTM gloss and haze standards are simulated with iBRDF
