| Abstract | Properly modeling the appearance of a material is very important for realistic image synthesis. The appearance of a material is formalized by the notion of the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF). In computer graphics, BRDFs are most often specified using various analytical models. Analytical models that are of interest to realistic image synthesis are the ones that observe the physical laws of reciprocity and energy conservation while typically also exhibiting shadowing, masking and Fresnel reflectance phenomenon. Realistic models are hence fairly complex with many parameters that need to be adjusted by the designer for the proper material appearance. Unfortunately these parameters can interact in non-intuitive ways, and small adjustments to certain settings may result in non-uniform changes in the appearance. This can make the material design process hard for an artist or a non-expert user. To alleviate this problem, Ngan et al. [2006] recently presented an interface for navigation in a perceptually uniform BRDF space based on a metric derived from user studies. However, this is still somewhat constraining as the user has to develop an understanding of the various aspects of material appearance such as varying degrees of diffuseness, glossiness, specularity, Fresnel effects and/or anisotropy in order to navigate such an interface. An artist or a user often knows the look that he or she desires for a particular application without necessarily being interested in understanding the various subtleties of reflection! This is what we seek to address in this work with a 'preference gallery' approach to material design. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
