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 …

In this work, we introduce an extension to microfacet theory for the rendering of iridescent
effects caused by thin-films of varying thickness (such as oil, grease, alcohols, etc) on top of …

Arnold is a physically based renderer for feature-length animation and visual effects.
Conceived in an era of complex multi-pass rasterization-based workflows struggling to keep …

The Manuka rendering architecture has been designed in the spirit of the classic reyes
rendering architecture: to enable the creation of visually rich computer generated imagery …

Physically based rendering systems often support spectral rendering to simulate light
transport in the real world. Material representations in such simulations need to be defined …

Nanostructured materials have recently emerged as a promising approach for material
appearance design. Research has mainly focused on creating structural colours by wave …

We present a versatile technique to convert textures with tristimulus colors into the spectral
domain, allowing such content to be used in modern rendering systems. Our method is …

We present a method for estimating the main properties of human skin, leveraging a
hyperspectral dataset of skin tones synthetically generated through a biophysical layered …

The last few years have seen a decisive move of the movie making industry towards
rendering using physically based methods, mostly implemented in terms of path tracing …

On the foundations of many rendering algorithms it is the symmetry between the path
traversed by light and its adjoint path starting from the camera. However, several effects …
