 sstrunk\n\nAbstract\nCurrent light transport simulations rely on good mate
 rial models to describe the rendered scenes. In the case of surface render
 ing\, these are usually described by bidirectional scattering distribution
  functions (BSDFs). However\, most state-of-the-art BSDFs lack the complex
 ity that real materials in the world around us offer. In our current resea
 rch\, we focus on the subclass of layered materials by combining simple ex
 isting models into more interesting looking materials.\nIn this proposal\,
  we discuss three relevant background papers. The first lays the foundatio
 n of our ongoing research by describing a framework for handling layered m
 aterials. The second paper extends commonly used microfacet based BSDFs wi
 th multiple-scattering. Lastly\, we cover a paper that presents an effecti
 ve acquisition technique for anisotropic BSDFs with extremely few samples.
