    Appearance of Interfaced Lambertian Microfacets, using STD Distribution
    (The Eurographics Association, 2017) Ribardière, M.; Meneveaux, D.; Bringier, B.; Simonot, L.; Reinhard Klein and Holly Rushmeier
    This paper presents the use of Student’s T-Distribution (STD) with interfaced Lambertian (IL) microfacets. The resulting model increases the range of materials while providing a very accurate adjustment of appearance. STD has been recently proposed as a generalized distribution of microfacets which includes Beckmann and GGX widely used in computer graphics; IL corresponds to a physical representation of a Lambertian substrate covered with a flat Fresnel interface. We illustrate the appearance variations that can be observed, and discuss the advantages of using such a combination.

    Experimental Analysis of BSDF Models
    (The Eurographics Association, 2017) Kurt, Murat; Reinhard Klein and Holly Rushmeier
    The Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function (BSDF) describes the appearance of an optically thin, translucent material by its interaction with light at a surface point. Various BSDF models have been proposed to represent BSDFs. In this paper, we experimentally analyze a few of BSDF models in terms of their accuracy to represent measured BSDFs, their required storage sizes and computation times. To make a fair comparison of BSDF models, we measured three samples of optically thin, translucent materials (hunter douglas, orange glass, structured glass) by using pgII gonio-photometer. Based on rendered images, required storage sizes and computation times, we compare the performance of the BSDF models. We show that datadriven BSDF models give a more accurate representation of measured BSDFs, while data-driven BSDF models require much more storage sizes and computation times.We also show that BSDF measurements from highly anisotropic translucent materials can not be expressed by an analytical BSDF model visually correctly.
