How to render realistic skin and marble in real time
In short: Discover a breakthrough technique from Activision-Blizzard that allows commodity hardware to simulate how light travels through translucent objects like human skin, milk, and plant leaves.
This video explores Separable Subsurface Scattering, a novel method for real-time subsurface light transport calculations. Published in the Computer Graphics Forum in 2015, the technique enables the efficient rendering of materials such as marble and skin by approximating complex light behavior.
Presented at the 2015 Eurographics Symposium on Rendering (EGSR), this work provides a way to achieve high-quality translucency on standard consumer hardware.
