Original Abstract Submitted
the subject technology receives an object mesh, information related to a viewpoint for rendering an image of an object having a reflective surface, and a set of maps. the subject technology generates a rasterized rgb (red green blue) image based on the object mesh, the viewpoint, and the set of maps. the subject technology generates, using a neural network model, an output image of the object with the reflective surface based at least in part on the rasterized rgb image and the viewpoint. the subject technology provides for display the output image of the object with the reflective surface on a display of a computer client device.
