Why Virtual?
§Simulates the
interactions of gonioreflectometry; given geometry and the measurements of appearance (BRDF)
§Gathers
reflectance information
§Source:
Light distributed using Monte Carlo approximation
§Object:
Geometry (micro-, milli-, object), BRDF
§Detector:
Capture Sphere, Spherical Harmonics
§Render:
this technique is used in Ray Tracers
