In current industrial 3D modeling pipelines, artists rely on commercial software to generate highly detailed models with UV maps, and then bake textures for low-poly counterparts. In these pipelines, each step is performed separately, leading to unsatisfac tory visual appearances for low polygon count models. Moreover, existing t exture baking techniques assume the low-poly mesh has a small geometric di fference from the high-poly, which is often not true in practice, especial ly with extremely low poly count models. To alleviate the visual discrepan cy of the low-poly mesh, we propose to jointly optimize UV mappings during texture baking, allowing for low-poly models to faithfully replicate the appearance of the high-poly even with large geometric differences. We form ulate the optimization within a differentiable rendering framework, allowi ng the automatic adjustment of texture regions to encode appearance inform ation. To compensate for view parallax when two meshes have large geometri c differences, we introduce a Spherical Harmonic (SH) parallax mapping, wh ich uses SH functions to modulate per-texel UV coordinates based on the vi ew direction. We evaluate the effectiveness and robustness of our approach on a dataset composed of online downloaded models, with varying complexit ies and geometric discrepancies. Our method achieves superior quality over state-of-the-art techniques and commercial solutions.\n\nRegistration Cat egory: Full Access\n\nSession Chair: Lin Lu (Shandong University) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2023/full-program?id=tog_104&sess=sess148 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
