We’ll take what we learned in the previous part and start fleshing out our Monte Carlo (“MC”) simulation. First, let’s import the random and math classes – we’ll need them. In our Python script, we’ll add a new function to our class. We’ll call this…
Introduction As discussed in previous chapters, we need to simulate light photon beams in order to determine the true color of our surface. The “Monte Carlo” simulation provides a method to do this. The name “Monte Carlo” derives from the randomness used in the method;…
Getting Going First things, open Python IDLE 3.8 (64-bit)… and create a new file… Save this file as Skin_Reflectance_Generation.py, or similar. Skin_Reflectance_Generation.py If you have a preferred IDE for authoring Python, feel free to use that. I wanted to keep this tutorial minimal, hence I’m…
Chromophores A chromophore is the part of any molecule that gives that molecule its color. It gives color by absorbing different wavelengths of light and reflecting others. An examples of a chromophore you may be familiar with is chlorophyll. It exists inside plants, reflecting green…
Getting Python We’re going to use Python for our producing out LUT. The code can be written in any language, if you prefer. Python was just my preference for prototyping the initial work with, and I stuck with it. You’ll need a version of Python…
