How I create virtual twins for fabrics and furniture
Briefly

"To build a material virtually, I've rigged a camera together with 18 spotlights to create what I've named a Total Material Appearance Capture (TMAC) device. It works by scanning a sample of material in many lighting scenarios to collect data on all the elements of the surface."
"This technology allows me to execute my ideas more precisely than I'd been able to before. It's taken me three years to develop and build this technology, in collaboration with scientists at the Institute of Information Theory and Automation in Prague."
