  • AUTOMATIC LEVEL-OF-DETAIL FOR PHYSICALLY-BASED MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20230111901
    Abstract: A method, computer readable medium, and system are disclosed for implementing automatic level-of-detail for physically-based materials. The method includes the steps of identifying a declarative representation of a material to be rendered, creating a reduced complexity declarative representation of the material by applying one or more term rewriting rules to the declarative representation of the material, and returning the reduced complexity declarative representation of the material.
    Type: Application

  • Material representation data structure and method of representing a material for digital image synthesis
    Patent number: 9947132
    Abstract: A material representation data structure and a method of representing a material for digital image synthesis. The data structure may be embodied in a graphics processing subsystem, including: (1) a memory configured to store a material representation data structure according to which a material is declaratively represented by a property indicative of an interaction between the material and light, and (2) a processor operable to gain access to the memory and employ the property in a rendering procedure defined independent of the material representation data structure and designed to effect the interaction.
