Abstract
The present disclosure relates to using end-to-end differentiable pipeline for optimizing parameters of a base procedural material to generate a procedural material corresponding to a target physical material. For example, the disclosed systems can receive a digital image of a target physical material. In response, the disclosed systems can retrieve a differentiable procedural material for use as a base procedural material in response. The disclosed systems can compare a digital image of the base procedural material with the digital image of the target physical material using a loss function, such as a style loss function that compares visual appearance. Based on the determined loss, the disclosed systems can modify the parameters of the base procedural material to determine procedural material parameters for the target physical material. The disclosed systems can generate a procedural material corresponding to the base procedural material using the determined procedural material parameters.
