How to properly combine the diffuse and specular terms?
As far as I understand, in a BRDF the Fresnel term is telling us the probability for a photon to be reflected or refracted when it hits a surface.
The reflected photons will contribute to the ...

More accurate Fresnel approximation for a RGB-based Path Tracer
I'm writing a path tracer and, for the moment, spectra related data (spectral power distributions and spectral reflectance curves) are stored as RGB tuples. In the Cook-Torrance specular BRDF I am ...

Fresnel and specular colour
I'm trying to implement Cook-Torrance BRDF and had previously bookmarked this question as it looked very well thought out. Going through it, I'm confused about the Fresnel equation. The author has the ...
