I tried implementing my own diffuse irradiance map maker after reading Learn OpenGL > PBR > IBL > Diffuse Irradiance.

It takes an HDR image and makes six HDR cube map. But It keeps making this very bright dots that altogether forms some kind of contour lines. (Almost looks like gamma correction artifact)

Any idea what possibly can cause this kind of artifacts?

    $\begingroup$ Most likely you are undersampling, and the bright spots occur when one of your samples happens to land on the sun. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @NathanReed You were right I was indeed undersampling. I’ll try more-sampling and see how it go. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Double check your sampling pattern and make sure you're getting well distributed samples as you increase the number? You could also try scaling down the input HDRI, so that you don't need so many samples when building the diffuse maps. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ That doesn't sound right. Can you point to where they're doing that in the article? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @NathanReed Nevermind, I was wrong. They turn HDR into LDR only when they are rendering the skybox. 😅 $\endgroup$
