Updated 26 September 2016: Chaos Group has just launched the VRscans library: a ‘taster pack’ of over 400 real-world materials captured using the VRscans service. In practice, that means sub-millimetre-accurate representations of fine detail like bumps and scratches.Īccording to Chaos Group, “VRscans combines precise optical hardware with proprietary software material’s … surface texture, reflectivity, dimensionality, and its unique response to light.”
(For comparison, the BRDF function emulated by standard shading models such as Blinn, Ward and GGX, is a four-dimensional representation of a material’s surface properties.) vrscan format implements a bidirectional texture function ( BTF): a six-dimensional representation of how a material’s surface appearance changes according to viewing angle and the angle of illumination.
vrscan file that can be rendered in V-Ray for 3ds Max or V-Ray for Maya. Users can send in physical samples of the materials they want scanned, and Chaos Group will send back a. Ultra-accurate digital representations of fine material surface details
Unlike readymade online material libraries like Substance Share or Quixel’s Megascans, scanning is performed on demand to a user’s specifications.
