Translucency, at its essence, is an optical property that enables the total or partial passage of light through materials, without providing a clear view of the objects behind them. Despite its ...

Abstract: Material appearance is a key component of photorealism, with a pronounced impact on human perception. Although there are many prior works targeting at measuring opaque materials using ...

Abstract: The material editing of a single image leverages generative neural networks to modify pixel-by-pixel at the image level, allowing for the alteration of material properties in the target ...

When designing a space, architects across the board tout the importance, and even necessity, of incorporating natural light into interiors. This means taking measures to control the quantity of light ...
