Time-Varying BTFs
In proceedings of Central European Seminar on Computer Graphics for Students (CESCG 2010), May 2010
Abstract
There have been several approaches to model and capture time-varying materials. Modeling approaches provide good results but are sometimes hard to apply because underlying processes are not yet understood or very complex. In this paper, we present a data-driven approach to record aging effects of metal and car paint with the help of Bidirectional Texture Functions. BTFs precisely capture spatially varying reflectance properties of a given material. However, once captured, one cannot change the appearance of a material that ages. Instead, we measure at several distinct aging steps and combine this information into a time-varying BTF which allows the user to interpolate between different stages of the aging process.
