Abstract

Most of the physically based techniques for rendering translucent objects use the diffusion theory of light scattering in turbid media. The widely used dipole diffusion model [JMLH01] applies the diffusion-theory formula derived for the planar surface to objects of arbitrary shapes. The purpose of this communication paper is to present the very first results of our investigation of how surface curvature affects the diffuse reflectance from translucent materials.
