Research

Mesaurement and visualization of real-world surface reflection properties is crucial to maintan the look & feel of materials. The BTF Database Bonn BTFDBB offers measured high-quality BTF (bidirectional distribution function) data for free for research. Besides material reflection properties shadows also play an important part for the realism of a computer generated image. Fast and accurate computation methods allow for rendering of self-shadowing even for dynamic objects. Combining the above topics with animation, a complete photo-realistic impression can be achieved. Due to the large data amounts, efficient compression methods are also desired.
