Modeling & Simulating Appearance • Models • Light • Light Sources • Shapes • Materials • Interfaces: Reflection and texture models • Medium: Atmospheric scattering models • Camera • Lens and film • Simulation • Illumination
The Goals of Rendering • Goals • Accurate physical simulation (perfect match) • Artistic or expressive (tell a story) • Informative or useful (visualize some data) • Approaches • Physical simulation of light • Graphics design and communication • Perception and cognition

Visualizing Anatomy • A photographic depiction captures the exact appearance of the object as we actually see it • Subtle, complex details of coloration and texture are fully represented, with great accuracy Photograph of the right hip bone (lateral aspect). Johannes W. Rohen and Chihiro Yokochi. Color Atlas of Anatomy: A Photographic Study of the Human Body, Igaku-Shoin, 1993.
A drawing offers the possibility to clarify structural or conceptual information that may be difficult to perceive in even a very good photo. Color drawing of the same subject. Sobotta Atlas of Human Anatomy, 11th English edition, vol. 2, edited by Jochen Staubesand, translated and edited by Anna N. Taylor, Urban & Schwarzenberg, 1990.
Perception • Visual cues (space or depth perception) • Motion • Shape • Binocular stereo • Occlusion and silhouettes • Linear perspective and foreshortening • Shading • Textures • Shadows • Aerial perspective: desaturation & blurring • Transparency

Material Recognition • People recognize materials more easily under • natural illumination than simplified illumination. Illusion due to Ted Adelson
