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.
