Abstract: Highlights•We introduce a generative model for digitizing materials using any flatbed scanners, capable of removing undesirable shading and specular highlights.•We expand the realism of digital replicas of material by including opacity and transmittance in the material model, both of which are key attributes for thin-layer materials like fabrics.•We provide an extensive and thorough experimentation using image-based and render aware metrics. Our results show that our method works with a wide range of scanning devices.
