Fabricating Spatially-Varying Subsurface Scattering
Many real world surfaces exhibit translucent appearance due to subsurface scattering. Although various methods exist to measure, edit and render subsurface scattering effects, few solutions exist for manufacturing physical objects with desired translucent appearance. In…
