Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure techniques for modeling and capturing the dynamic appearance of skin. These techniques can couple dynamic reflectance parameters for skin (albedo and specular reflectance) with dynamic geometry. The disclosed techniques allow for capture and modeling of the dynamic appearance of skin for an actor. The techniques can re-render the actor's face accurately to accurately model the appearance of skin including the albedo of skin that can change primarily due to blood flow. The techniques can also re-render the actor's face accurately under multiple different lighting conditions.
