Abstract

Recent research efforts in image synthesis have been directed toward the rendering of believable and predictable images of biological materials. This course addresses an important topic in this area, namely the predictive simulation of skin's appearance. The modeling approaches, algorithms and data examined during this course can be also applied to the rendering of other organic materials such as hair and ocular tissues.
