Introduction
Translucent objects Light scattering through the object due to material
properties

BSSRDF vs BRDF
BRDF approximation of BSSRDF Light enters and leaves at the same point

BSSRDF
Heavy computation due to integration Proposed approximation
A Rapid Hierarchical Rendering Technique for Translucent Materials – Jensen et al.
Based on A Practical Model for Subsurface Light Transport – Jensen et al.

BSSRDF model: Single scattering Multiple scattering (dominant)
The Diffusion Approximation Multiple scattering inside the object lead to diffuse
scattering/blur
Approach

Diffusion Approximation
2 pass technique: First, computing the irradiance at sample positions
on the surface Second, evaluate the diffusion approximation
using irradiance from first pass

Sampling the irradiance
Spread sample points uniformly across the surface – using Turk’s point repulsion algorithm.
Compute irradiance at these points using basic Monte Carlo estimator
Number of points related to mean free path and total surface area

Turk’s Point Repulsion
Points are seen as particles that repel each other Solved by relaxation techniques Compute forces (fold/unfold triangles) between
points Transformation matrices to make triangles coplanar
Apply forces, moving points across the surface Find edge intersections Triangle use sets to move points across edges

Evaluating Diffuse Approximation Options:
Sum the contribution from all the samplesComputationally expensive since most objects have
thousands of samples on the surface Hierarchical evaluation
Store irradiance values on an octree Evaluate voxels regarding the maximum solid angle
spanned
Each node stores Ev, Av and Pv

Issues
Initial approach: Using a Renderman renderer: Pixie
Change to PBRT: Setting it up Computation of the number of samples on
the surface and mean free path Turk’s algorithm took 50% of the total time
Floating point precision issues
