What Will This Copper Look Like Later? Forecasting Surface Appearance and Rendering It as a PBR Material
Digital design requires predicting how a metal surface will look later in its oxidation; this paper presents such a pipeline for copper. Given a fixed-camera observation, the system forecasts appearance 10 accelerated units ahead and converts it into the albedo, normal, roughness and metallic maps a renderer consumes. Forecasting is evaluated as an authoring tool would use it, on a copper specimen the system has not observed: an entire recording is held out, so training and checkpoint selection use one specimen and the test set is the whole of a second, recorded on a different day and condition. Under this protocol a learned spatio-temporal model with a monotone oxidation state, the most ...
