Visual simulation using computer graphics has attracted wide attention in many fields. We propose a method of modeling and visualizing pearls to implement a pearl visual simulator. Pearls manifest a very specific optical phenomenon. To investigate this feature, we propose an optical model of blurring and pearl interference. The experimental results show that the physics-based modeling of internal blurring in the multilayer of a pearl and the partial coherent interference model are effective for high-quality pearl visualization.
