Interaction of light with a surface Absorption Reflection Transmission / refraction Reflective properties of materials determine the relation of reflected radiance L r to incoming radiance L i , and therefore the appearance of the object: color, glossiness, etc. CG III (NPGR010) - J. Křivánek 2015

BRDF Mathematical model of the reflection properties of a surface Intuition Value of a BRDF = probability density , describing the event that a light energy “packet”, or “photon” , coming from direction w i gets reflected to the direction w o . w w f ( ) 0 , Range: r i o CG III (NPGR010) - J.

Anisotropic BRDF Different microscopic roughness in different directions (brushed metals, fabrics , …) CG III (NPGR010) - J. Křivánek 2015
Isotropic vs. anisotropic BRDF Isotropic BRDFs have only 3 degrees of freedom Instead of i and o it is enough to consider only D i – o But this is not enough to describe an anisotropic BRDF Description of an anisotropic BRDF i and o are expressed in a local coordinate frame ( U , V , N ) U … tangent – e.g. the direction of brushing V … binormal N … surface normal … the Z axis of the local coordinate frame CG III (NPGR010) - J.

Ideal diffuse reflection A.k.a. Lambertian reflection Johann Heinrich Lambert, „ Photometria “ , 1760. Postulate: Light gets reflected to all directions with the same probability, irrespective of the direction it came from The corresponding BRDF is a constant function (independent of w i , w o ) w w f ( ) f r , d i o r , d CG III (NPGR010) - J.
