Abstract
We propose a method for displaying photorealistic images of outdoor scenes suitable for displaying simulation results, such as the appearance of a building under various weather conditions. This method portrays the changes in perceived color of buildings under various atmospheric conditions by taking into account the spectral distribution of both direct sunlight and sky light. Such views of buildings (including the effects of atmospheric particles like clouds, fog, and light beams) are useful for the design not only of buildings, but also of whole city areas.
