Abstract

Recent research efforts in image synthesis have been directed toward the rendering of believable and predictable images of biological materials. This course addresses an important topic in this area, namely the predictive simulation of skin's appearance. The modeling approaches, algorithms and data examined during this course can be also applied to the rendering of other organic materials such as hair and ocular tissues.

Practical measurement-based spectral rendering of human skin
SIGGRAPH '18: ACM SIGGRAPH 2018 Posters

Realistic appearance modeling of human skin is an important research topic with a variety of application in computer graphics. Various diffusion based BSSRDF models [Jensen et al. 2001, Donner and Jensen 2005, Donner and Jensen 2006] have been ...
Human skin color simulator using active illumination
CCIW'11: Proceedings of the Third international conference on Computational color imaging

Skin color simulation is one of the most important topics. We propose a novel method to reproduce realistic skin color under different conditions by projecting active illumination to a real human skin surface. The active illumination is generated by a ...
Rendering of human skin during physical exercise
SIGGRAPH '12: ACM SIGGRAPH 2012 Posters

Many researchers have shown interest in the realistic rendering of a human face since it is crucial to the success of many applications in computer graphics, games and animation. However, it is difficult to represent the realistic appearance of a facial ...
