Unified Neural Encoding of BTFs

Wenzel Alban Jakob

Realistic rendering using discrete reflectance measurements is challenging, because arbitrary directions on the light and view hemispheres are queried at render time, incurring large memory requirements and the need for interpolation. This explains the des ...

Slope-Space Integrals for Specular Next Event Estimation

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Tizian Lucien Zeltner, Guillaume Rémi Bruno Loubet

Monte Carlo light transport simulations often lack robustness in scenes containing specular or near-specular materials. Widely used uni- and bidirectional sampling strategies tend to find light paths involving such materials with insufficient probability, ...

Specular Manifold Sampling for Rendering High-Frequency Caustics and Glints

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Tizian Lucien Zeltner

Scattering from specular surfaces produces complex optical effects that are frequently encountered in realistic scenes: intricate caustics due to focused reflection, multiple refraction, and high-frequency glints from specular microstructure. Yet, despite ...

A Learned Shape-Adaptive Subsurface Scattering Model

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini

Subsurface scattering, in which light refracts into a translucent material to interact with its interior, is the dominant mode of light transport in many types of organic materials. Accounting for this phenomenon is thus crucial for visual realism, but exp ...
