Kulla-Conty Energy Compensation

Computer Graphics · Materials and BSDFs · 2017 · kulla-conty.yaml

Precomputes the directional albedo a single-scattering microfacet BRDF loses and adds a fitted lobe back to make up the difference. Far cheaper than a random walk and close enough for production.

Colour is the family; a dashed line is the second member of it.
