A shading model for cloth objects

A fundamental light reflection model that takes into account the internal structure of cloth to render the peculiar gloss of cloth objects is presented. In developing this model, the microscopic structure of textiles was considered. The model represents fabric features such as fiber's cross-sectional shape or weave. By measuring the reflected light intensity from actual cloth objects of several typical materials, it was verified that the model can express the properties of several kinds of cloth, and the parameters in the model were defined.<<ETX>>
