SBRDF
Spatial Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Functions

Introduction

SBRDF stands for Spatial Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Function. The SBRDF is a reflectance function over the spatial domain and the incident and exitant radiance domains. It can be thought of as a texture map with a BRDF at each texel. This page contains a repository of SBRDF resources.

Welcome to the SBRDF Site

Welcome. This SBRDF site contains a repository of sampled SBRDF data that you can download and experiment with. It also contains sample code for creating SBRDFs from input photographs, and rendering code and shaders for SBRDF surfaces. The Content section has instructional images, result images, etc. The Papers section has pointers to research papers related to SBRDFs.

Please send me mail to add your name to the list of people doing research on or interested in SBRDFs.

The form of the site was shamelessly ripped from the GPGPU web site, but slimmed down somewhat. Thanks Mark!
