Therefore, they are pervasively used in rendering to perform all-frequency shading. However, common basis functions, including spherical harmonics (SH), wavelets, and spherical Ga ussians (SG) all have their own limitations, such as low-frequency for SH, not rotationally invariant for wavelets, and no multiple product support for SG. In this paper, we present \empf{neural basis functions}, an implic it and data-driven set of basis functions that circumvents the limitations with all desired properties. We first introduce a representation neural n etwork that takes any general 2D spherical function (e.g. environment ligh ting, BRDF, and visibility) as input and projects it onto the latent space as coefficients of our neural basis functions. Then, we design several li ghtweight neural networks that perform different types of computation, giv ing our basis functions different computational properties such as double/ triple product integrals and rotations. We demonstrate the practicality of our neural basis functions by integrating them into all-frequency shading applications, showing that our method not only achieves a compression rat e of $0.39\%$ and $10\times$-$40\times$ better performance than wavelets a t equal quality, but also renders all-frequency lighting effects in real-t ime without the aforementioned limitations from classic basis functions.\n \nRegistration Category: FULL ACCESS, ON-DEMAND ACCESS\n\nLanguage: ENGLIS H\n\nFormat: IN-PERSON, ON-DEMAND URL:https://sa2022.siggraph.org/en/full-program/?id=papers_235&sess=sess16 1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
