DreamWorks fabric shading model: from artist friendly to physically plausible

Priyamvad Deshmukh, Feng Xie, Eric Tabellion

Abstract: Since Shrek 2, DreamWorks artists have used the fabric model developed by [Glumac and Doepp 2004] extensively on cloth material shading. Even after we developed the physically based microcylinderical cloth model by [Sadeghi et al. 2013], they continued to prefer the intuitive control of the DreamWorks fabric shading model, which is also a cyindrical shading model, with easy to use artistic controls for highlights, and highlight directions.
