1 Computer Graphics as Virtual Photography Remember this?

real camera photo Photographic Photography: scene (captures processing print light) • Bi-directional Reflectance Function

processing

BRDF = fr (φi ,θi ,φr ,θ r ) Computer 3D camera tone synthetic Graphics: models model reproduction image At a given point, gives relative reflected illumination in any (focuses simulated direction with respect to incoming illumination coming from lighting) any direction

Illumination Models Phong Model

• Illumination model - function or algorithm used to describe the reflective characteristics of a given surface. • More accurately, function or algorithm used to approximate the BRDF. = + • + • ke L(V ) ka La kd ∑i Li (Si N) ks ∑i Li (Ri V) ambient diffuse specular

Question Texture Mapping

• What if Phong (or other) Illumination models aren’t good enough? • Developed in 1974 by Ed Catmull, currently – Texture Mapping – use an image president of Pixar – Procedural Shading – program your own • Goal: Make Phong shading less plastic looking

2 Texture Mapping Texture Mapping

• A means to define surface characteristics of an object using an image • Mapping a 2D image onto a 3D surface • Coordinate spaces in texture mapping – Texture space (u, v)

– Object space (xo,yo,zo) – Screen space (x, y)

Texture Mapping Texture Mapping

• Key to texture mapping is parameterization texture space (u,v) – 3D geometry must be expressed as a function parameterization of 2 variables, u and v.

–Examples: object space (xo,yo, zo) •Planar projection • Spherical • Bi-cubic patch screen space (x,y) • Cylindrical

Corresponder function Texture Mapping - Direct Mapping

• Converts from texture parameter space (u, v) to texel space. – Controls the way an image is applied –Examples: • Direct mapping • Use a portion of an image • Apply transforms • Out of range transforms

5 Texture Mapping – out of range Texture mapping

• Aliasing – Sampling – images are discrete, not continuous. – Resolution of sampled space (in this case texture map) is not fine enough

Repeat Mirror clamp border (tile) (tile)

Texture mapping

• Aliasing- point sampling in middle of pixel - need more! Texture Mapping – Aliasing

Watt

Texture Mapping Texture Mapping - Anti-aliasing

• Aliasing -because of interpolation and perspective • Point sample at higher resolution (sometimes very projection difficult) – Nearest • Pick the closest texel – Linear • Take an average of surrounding texels – Mip-Mapping • Multiple textures of the same image • Use low pass filter before sampling aliased image anti-aliased image • Can sometimes use stochastic sampling to improve results

6 Texture mapping Texture Mapping

• Texture Map Aliasing Applet •Mipmaps http://www.nbb.cornell.edu/neurobio/land/ – Pre-calculate your texture map at many resolutions (or layers) OldStudentProjects/cs490- – Store all “texture layers” in a single image. 96to97/anson/TextureMappingApplet/ – Use “appropriate” layer when performing rendering, interpolating between levels as required – Mip == “multum in parvo” • Latin for “many things in a small space” – Native support in hardware.

7 Value transform function Value Transform functions

• Texture maps need not be just plain old • Texel data interpretation: RGB. – Normal displacement – Bump Mapping • Texture == data associated with an object – Transparency Mask – Alpha Mapping – Stored in a 2D array of texels – Reflection – Environment Mapping • Value transform function – Illumination – Light Mapping – Transforms data into value usable by the – Specular component – Gloss Mapping illumination model at the shading point – Lighting intensities – Radiance Mapping

Texture Mapping- Bump Mapping Texture Mapping- Bump Mapping • Perturbing surface normal Adds roughness to surfaces • Texture map represents displacements from the Quick way to add detail to an normal object • Use perturbed normal in illumination model Polygon remains physically flat, but appears bumpy

• In this lecture, we assumed that textures were pre-generated and saved in a file • Textures can also be generated on the fly using a function or procedure… – But that’s for next time…
