Appearance Measurements in Industry and their Application in Light Reflection Models

We investigate appearance standards in industry for gloss, haze, and goniochromatic color. Advantages of using appearance standards directly connected to physical reflection parameters include the small number of required measurements and the inexpensive commercially available instruments necessary to acquire the data. We review light reflection models recently developed for metallic and pearlescent colors that are accurate enough for industry applications ranging from interactive to real-time calculation speeds. To solve the real-time constraints, we have chosen to simulate the paint appearance thanks to textures on GPU.
