### Dealing with blown-out highlights in PBR

Using physically based BRDFs only makes sense if your entire pipeline is built for physical units - the extreme range of values can't be displayed properly without some form of tone mapping. You didn'...

### Anisotropic GGX BRDF implementation. How is it related to isotropic GGX BRDF?

After coming back to the problem now with a fresh pair of eyes, I have managed to find my mistake. Ad Question 1 Yes, the formula is correct. The problem is hidden in the tangent and bi-tangent . ...

### Can microfacet BRDF (including ggx) represent perfect mirror?

If this was correct, $\frac{D(H)G(L,V,H)}{4|N⋅V|}$ should be a dirac delta function. But I don't think so. Actually, you're close to your answer - you just are trying to find out, what the assumption ...

### Can't understand the Importance sampling GGX

In microfacet BRDFs, the half-vector is the same as the microfacet normal. The half-vector is exactly the required normal for a microfacet to reflect light from the incident ray to the outgoing ray, ...

### Problem sampling uniformly envmap with GGX

How are you randomizing the samples you take? It looks to me like maybe the random values are the same across all pixels in the image, which would explain why you see 10 coherent bright spots when you ...
