Many polarisation techniques have been harnessed for decades in biological and clinical
research, each based upon measurement of the vectorial properties of light or the vectorial …

Translucency is an optical and a perceptual phenomenon that characterizes subsurface light
transport through objects and materials. Translucency as an optical property of a material …

Real-time subsurface scattering techniques are widely used in translucent material
rendering. Among advanced methods that rely on the bidirectional scattering-surface …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

Skin is the outer-most tissue of the human body. As a result, people are very aware of, and
very sensitive to, the appearance of their skin. Consequently, skin appearance has been a …

We introduce a class of biologically-motivated algorithms for generating leaf venation
patterns. These algorithms simulate the interplay between three processes:(1) development …

We have measured 3D face geometry, skin reflectance, and subsurface scattering using
custom-built devices for 149 subjects of varying age, gender, and race. We developed a …

Transparent wood (TW) is an emerging optical material combining high optical transmittance
and haze for structural applications. Unlike nonscattering absorbing media, the thickness …

Translucent materials are ubiquitous, and simulating their appearance requires accurate
physical parameters. However, physically-accurate parameters for scattering materials are …

We present a new BSSRDF for rendering images of translucent materials. Previous diffusion
BSSRDFs are limited by the accuracy of classical diffusion theory. We introduce a modified …
