Abstract
Various embodiments include a system for rendering an object, such as human skin or a human head, from captured appearance data comprising a plurality of texels. The system includes a processor executing a texture space indirect illumination module. The system determines texture coordinates of a vector originating from a first texel where the vector intersects a second texel. The system renders the second texel from the viewpoint of the first texel based on appearance data at the second texel. Based on the rendering of the second texel, the system determines an indirect lighting intensity incident to the first texel from the second texel. The system updates appearance data at the first texel based on a direct lighting intensity and the indirect lighting intensity. The system renders the first texel based on the updated appearance data at the first texel.
