Session II: Rendering, Modeling, & Computer Graphic Based Standards for Appearance
Fern Hunt, Session Chair, began by discussing NIST's effort to develop computer rendering as a tool for the design and evaluation of appearance of coated materials. Success in this enterprise will depend on advances in modeling and measurement of surface scattering as well as advances in computer rendering itself. The lecturers in this session will speak to these issues and to the challenges of the most important potential application of rendering-electronic commerce.
