A Simple Layered RGB BRDF Model

Many natural objects, and in general layered materials, have non-linear reflection behaviour along the wavelengths. An accurate representation of phenomena such as interference and colour separation generally requires a fine spectral representation of light instead of the commonly used RGB components. In this article, we introduce and experiment with a general approach to create similar and convincing effects, with a simple RGB BRDF model. We present a model for both specular and a diffuse reflection. keywords : BRDF, reflection model, interference, spectral effects
