Abstract
Illustrative embodiments generate a physical base rendering (PBR) palette that provides improved fidelity in images rendered by a computer aided design system. For example, where a CAD system operator has a basic shading palette for an existing design, and where the CAD system operator desires to generate images of the existing design from a PBR palette instead, illustrative embodiments process the basic shading palette to produce a PBR palette that, when used by the CAD system to render an image, produces an image of a higher quality than conventional technologies.
