Foundations on Surface Material - lorentzo/IntroductionToComputerGraphics GitHub Wiki

Foundations of material

• Material is to a high degree responsible for appearance of object.
• Material description is used to define interaction of light with surface.
• Material modeling can be decomposed in scattering model and texture.

Foundations of scattering models

• Defining behavior of material in single point

Foundations of textures

• Spatial variation of surface material by varying scattering parameters over surface
