Physically-Based Rendering in WebGL

-
Image
According to the image from  Physically Based Shading At Disney  as below, the left is the real chrome, the middle is PBR approach, and the right is Blinn-Phong. We can find PBR is more closer to the real case, and the difference part is the specular lighting part. Blinn-Phong The most important part of specular term in Blinn-Phong is it uses half-vector instead of using dot(lightDir, normalDir) to avoid the traditional Phong lighting model hard shape problem. vec3 BRDF_Specular_BlinnPhong( vec3 lightDir, vec3 viewDir, vec3 normal, vec3 specularColor, float shininess ) { vec3 halfDir = normalize( lightDir + viewDir ); float dotNH = saturate( dot( normal, halfDir ) ); float dotLH = saturate( dot( lightDir, halfDir ) ); vec3 F = F_Schlick( specularColor, dotLH ); float G = G_BlinnPhong_Implicit( ); float D = D_BlinnPhong( shininess, dotNH ); return F * ( G * D ); } Physically-Based rendering Regarding to the lighting model of GGX, UE4 Shading presentation by

Fast subsurface scattering

Image
Fig.1 - Fast Subsurface scattering of Stanford Bunny Based on the implementation of three.js . It provides a cheap, fast, and convincing approach to do ray-tracing in translucent surfaces. It refers the sharing in GDC 2011  [1], and the approach is used by Frostbite 2 and Unity engines [1][2][3]. Traditionally, when a ray intersects with surfaces, it needs to calculate the bouncing result after intersections. Materials can be divided into three types roughly.  Opaque , lights can't go through its geometry and the ray will be bounced back.  Transparency , the ray passes and allow it through the surface totally, it probably would loose a little energy after leaving.  Translucency , the ray after entering the surface will be bounced internally like below Fig. 2. Fig.2 - BSSRDF [1] In the case of translucency, we have several subsurface scattering approaches to solve our problem. When a light is traveling inside the shape, that needs to consider the diffuse value influe
