BRDF that interpolates between diffuse, glossy and reflective?

Although microfacet bxdfs do this to some degree, a roughness of 1 is not really the same as a diffuse. I don't know of any single lobe which can properly blend between them. You would probably have t …

How to find the importance sampling function for a specified BRDF?

PBRT3 is a really good resource and has a lot of brdfs in it. The book and source code are available for free online. Regarding oren-nayar, from what I can gather they are just using cosine weighted h …

BRDF for point lights should not return values over 1

For a BRDF the integral over the hemisphere must be less than 1 for energy conservation. If you consider a specular brdf there is only one direction, where brdf > 0 and all other directions return 0. …

Understanding of Microfacet monte-carlo path tracing

Some more clarity on the fresnel. F tells you how much light is reflected, and (1 - F) therefore tells you how much light is transmitted through the layer/material/surface. Generally we put fresnels …

How can I make the simplest physically based mixed specular-diffuse BRDF (and how to properl...

A common way of combining diffuse and specular brdfs is by using a fresnel equation. Essentially, for some specular materials, the amount reflected and transmitted (passed through the object) depends …
