Generalization of Lambert's reflectance model
SIGGRAPH '94: Proceedings of the 21st annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques

Lambert's model for body reflection is widely used in computer graphics. It is used extensively by rendering techniques such as radiosity and ray tracing. For several real-world objects, however, Lambert's model can prove to be a very inaccurate ...
Printing reflectance functions

The reflectance function of a scene point captures the appearance of that point as a function of lighting direction. We present an approach to printing the reflectance functions of an object or scene so that its appearance is modified correctly as a ...
Wavelength dependent reflectance functions
SIGGRAPH '94: Proceedings of the 21st annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques

A wavelength based bidirectional reflectance function is developed for use in realistic image synthesis. A geodesic sphere is employed to represent the BRDF, and a novel data structure is used to store this description and to recall it for rendering ...
