ABSTRACT
Normal maps are of great importance for many 2D graphics applications such as surface editing, re-lighting, texture mapping and 2D shading etc. Automatically inferring normal map is highly desirable for graphics designers. Many researchers have investigated the inference of normal map from intuitive and flexiable line drawing based on traditional geometric methods while our proposed deep networks-based method shows more robustness and provides more plausible results.

Interactive Sketch-Based Normal Map Generation with Deep Neural Networks
High-quality normal maps are important intermediates for representing complex shapes. In this paper, we propose an interactive system for generating normal maps with the help of deep learning techniques. Utilizing the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)...
Efficient Multiscale Rendering of Specular Microstructure
SIGGRAPH '20: ACM SIGGRAPH 2020 TalksTexturing is a ubiquitous technique used to enrich surface appearance with fine detail. While standard filtering approaches, such as mipmapping or summed area tables, are available for rendering diffuse reflectance textures at different levels of detail,...
Shading-interval constraints for normal map editing
SA '10: ACM SIGGRAPH ASIA 2010 SketchesNormal mapping is a compact representation to create visually rich shapes and shading effects. In this paper, we introduce a new paint-based approach to edit a normal map according to the intended shading, from realistic to non-realistic ones. For this ...
