Reflection model of metallic paints for reflectance acquisition

Masashi Baba, Naoki Asada · 2009

Nowadays metallic paints are used in many situations. Although a lot of industrial products are painted because of the significant appearance, the reflection of the metallic paint is very complex and it is difficult to generate a photo-realistic image of a particular metallic paint. Recently, Rump et al. [Rump et al. 2008] proposed a method to acquire the reflectance and to generate photo-realistic images of metallic paints. They used BTF to capture and represent flakes in metallic paints, however, it is hard to capture and to store. In this paper, we propose a simple model to express the metallic paints including the sparkling effect of the flakes in metallic paints.
