Abstract

Human skin modelling and rendering are affected with a variety of cues. These are including human visual perception of skin texture and lighting. An attempt to mimic such attributes by computer is an aspiring goal and challenging task. This paper proposes a novel algorithm with two techniques as a key solution capturing such a variety of cues to skin appearance. The idea is to capture these two characteristics for skin rendering. The first is the texture generation that developed in visual perception. The second is skin texture rendering. These techniques discuss the skin noise simulation based on human perception theory and simulate skin noise texture. Then, the skin is rendered with what we call the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function Texture Magnitude technique. The original contribution and advantages of this paper compared with other proposed methods are simple to implement, reliable and their computations are fast enough for an interactive environment. Experimental results demonstrate our approach for skin texture generation.
