Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to three-dimensional (3D) printing. In accordance with one aspect, a method for generating a three-dimensional (3D) print include modifying a plurality of digital materials of a lighting-modified 3D digital model to generate a materials-modified 3D digital model based on a plurality of simulated characteristics; modifying one or more model parameters of the materials-modified 3D digital model to generate a parameters-modified 3D digital model; and transforming an interaction between a modified digital lighting and a modified digital material in the parameters-modified 3D digital model to generate a transformed 3D digital model.

A method for generating a three-dimensional (3D) print, the method comprising:
- modifying a plurality of digital materials of a lighting-modified 3D digital model to generate a materials-modified 3D digital model based on a plurality of simulated characteristics;
- modifying one or more model parameters of the materials-modified 3D digital model to generate a parameters-modified 3D digital model;
- transforming an interaction between a modified digital lighting and a modified digital material in the parameters-modified 3D digital model to generate a transformed 3D digital model by rotating a reflectance vector parallel to a normal vector;
- rasterizing the transformed 3D digital model into a parameter space of a 3D model file to generate a rasterized 3D digital model;
- and
- providing the rasterized 3D digital model to a 3D printer to create a 3D print.
