5. Cook-Torrance Illumination Model (summary) A linear combination of a number of completely different models and approximations AMBIENT term  to approximate global illumination Lambertian DIFFUSE term  model color SPECULAR term: 1.Fresnel term  gives dependence of specular intensity and color on incidence angle 2.Microfacet model term  spreads the specular intensity, giving an “off-specular bump”

6. D  statistical distribution function of the microfacets slope G  geometric attenuation term, which deals with how the individual microfacets shadow and mask each other. F  Fresnel term deals with the amount of light that is reflected versus absorbed as the incident angle changes (an example of this is often seen when driving on a straight road, and the road appearing mirror-like when viewed from grazing angles).

7. Lambertian Lighting Model (diffuse)

8. Attenuation Term The fraction of light that reaches the surface as an effect of light attenuation. c1, c2, c3: The coefficients for constant, linear and quadratic attenuation of the light source, respectively. d: the distance to the light

20. Cook-Torrance Illumination Model (summary) Microfacet model term  spreads the specular intensity, giving an “off-specular bump” NOT entirely satisfactory It is based on a one-dimensional “cross-sectional” model

21. Isotropic, Anisotropic Surfaces An isotropic surface has the property that for any given point on the surface, the light reflected does not change when the surface is rotated about the normal This is the case for many materials, but some materials such as brushed metal or hair this is not the case. The reason for these anisotropic surfaces is that the micro facets that make up the surface have a preferred direction in the form of parallel grooves or scratches

22. Tiny random bumps in the surface of the floor, bumps possibly so small that you may not notice the bumps, but you will notice their affect on the reflection. Isotropic Surfaces

23. So now, what happens if these tiny bumps are in a regular pattern? For example, brushed metals are metals that have small grooves that all head in the same direction. This causes reflections to blur in a specific direction. Anisotropic Surfaces

27. Wards Anisotropic Lighting Model

28. The X and Y terms are two perpendicular tangent directions on the surface. They give represent the direction of the grooves in the surface. The  terms are the standard deviations of the slope in the X and Y direction (given by their respective subscripts).
