The realistic reproduction of visual appearance of real-world objects requires accurate computer graphics models that describe the optical interaction of a scene with its surroundings. Data-driven approaches that model the scene globally as a reflectance field function in eight parameters deliver high quality and work for most material combinations, but are costly to acquire and store. Image-space relighting, which constrains the application to create photos with a virtual, fix camera in freely

Just like any larger work, a dissertation is never the product of a single person in isolation; it is always shaped by the environment in which it comes into being. Accordingly, I would like to thank my advisors, colleagues, friends and family alike; and while I am grateful to many more supporters than I can list here, some of them stand out so much that I would like to thank them by name.
