  37. Generating LDPRT Models • PRT simulation over mesh • texture: specify patch (a) • per-vertex: specify mesh (b) • Parameterized models • ad-hoc using intuitive parameters (c) • fit to simulation data (d) (a) LDPRT texture (b) LDPRT mesh (d) wrinkle model (c) thin-membrane model

  38. LDPRT Texture Pipeline • Start with “tileable” heightmap • Simulate 3x3 grid • Extract and fit LDPRT • Store in texture maps

  39. Thin Membrane Model • Single degree of freedom (DOF) • “optical thickness”: light bleed in negative normal direction

  40. Wrinkle Model • Two DOF • Phase, position along canonical wrinkle

  41. Wrinkle Model • Two DOF • Phase, position along canonical wrinkle • Amplitude, max magnitude of wrinkle

  42. Wrinkle Model Fit • Compute several simulations • 64 discrete amplitudes • 255 unique points in phase • Fit 32x32 textures • One optimization for all DOF simultaneously • Optimized for bi-linear reconstruction • 3 lobes

  45. Conclusions/Future Work • “local” global illumination effects • soft shadows, inter-reflections, translucency • easy-to-rotate rep. for spherical functions • sums of rotated zonal harmonics • allows dynamic geometry, real-time performance • may be useful in other applications [Zhou2005] • future work: non-local effects • articulated characters
