Introducing an efficient and general method for rendering specular-surface microstructure. The method treats a specular surface as a four-dimensional position-normal distribution, and fits this distribution using a mixture of 4D Gaussian flakes. This leads to fast closed-form solutions to the required BRDF evaluation and sampling queries.

This paper introduces a multi-scale SV-BRDF model for scratched materials such as metals, plastics, or finished woods. The method controls the profile, micro-BRDF, density, and orientation of scratches; takes into account all inter-reflections inside a scratch; and works in direct and global illumination settings.

Modeling multiple scattering in microfacet theory is considered an important open problem. This work derives the missing multiple-scattering components of the popular family of BSDFs based on the Smith microsurface model.

The highly anisotropic appearance of metals is predicted from micron-scale measurements of surface geometry. In this work, geometric and wave-optics approaches are tested, a new ellipsoid NDF is proposed, and spatial texture is explored.
