Patent number: 11961188Abstract: An appearance-responsive material map generation system generates a set of material maps based on the appearance of a material depicted in the source material data. A neural network included in the appearance-responsive material map generation system is trained to identify features of particular source material data, such as features that contribute to a highly realistic appearance of a graphical object rendered with the material depicted in the source material data. In some cases, the trained neural network receives source material data that includes at least one source material map. Based on the features that are identified for the particular source material data, the appearance-responsive material map generation system creates a respective set of appearance-responsive material maps for the particular source material data. In some cases, the appearance-responsive rendering map set is arranged as an inconsistent pyramid of material maps.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Robin Faury, Tamy Boubekeur, Jeremy Levallois, Alban Gauthier, Theo Thonat
