Abstract :
This paper describes a reflection and transparency model of rose petals for photorealistic computer graphics. Our model for each rose petal is based on its microscopic scale structures, such as the dome-shaped and translucent cells. The model has some parameters whose values are estimated from measuring of reflected light´s intensities on rose petals. The values of those parameters are adjusted for the faithful simulation of the optical phenomena on rose petals. Finally, images of a rose produced by using our model are shown
