The distribution of diffuse radiance over the sky hemisphere is an important quantity that is
required in many applications. Its spectral variation is useful when considering processes …

The objective of polarization rendering is to simulate the interaction of light with materials
exhibiting polarization-dependent behavior. However, integrating polarization into rendering …

The detailed glinty appearance from complex surface microstructures enhances the level of
realism but is both-and time-consuming to render, especially when viewed from far away …

Current appearance models for the sky are able to represent clear-sky illumination to a high
degree of accuracy. However, these models all lack a common feature of real skies: clouds …

Achieving photorealism when rendering virtual scenes in movies or architecture
visualizations often depends on providing a realistic illumination and background. Typically …

Artificial light sources make our daily life convenient, but cause a severe problem called light
pollution. We propose a novel system for efficient visualization of light pollution in the night …

Diffuse sky radiance is a key variable for resolving the global energy budget, weather
forecasting, radiative transfer modelling and estimating solar energy potential at the Earth's …

Sky illumination is a core source of lighting in rendering, and a substantial amount of work
has been developed to simulate lighting from clear skies. However, in reality, clouds …
