Questions tagged [pbr]
Physically Based Rendering is an approach that aims to ground the drawing of computer-generated scenes in the physics of light reflection and scattering and measurable properties of real-world materials, to give a more visually convincing effect that's consistent under a wide range of illumination and viewing conditions.

Is there a PBR-like material system for audio?
With visual/rendering materials, a very popular system for this is PBR. Materials made using PBR may define properties like albedo color, normal maps, emission, roughness, metallic, specular, etc. ...

Is there a technique to properly illuminate a PBR material when using directional light?
I use the following formula to calculate PBR color for each light source. For the sake of this post, let's assume that there is only one directional light. I am using Vulkan; so, +Y is "down"...
