Hi guys
I calculate Cook-Torrance BRDF. It look okay and mostly fine but i found some problem with geometry term.
Code for “G” term are:
float GeometrySchlickGGX(float NdotV, float k)
{
- float nom = NdotV;*
- float denom = NdotV * (1.0 - k) + k;*
-
- return nom / denom;*
}
float GeometrySmith(vec3 N, vec3 V, vec3 L, float k)
{
- float NdotV = max(dot(N, V), 0.0);*
- float NdotL = max(dot(N, L), 0.0);*
- float ggx1 = GeometrySchlickGGX(NdotV, k);*
- float ggx2 = GeometrySchlickGGX(NdotL, k);*
-
- return ggx1 * ggx2;*
}
Where k = roughness and calculated as:
float r = (roughness + 1.0);
float k = (rr) / 8.0;*
Here’s the problem. In this case i only output “G” term itself without any other calculations (complited calculations will also have same problem)
Notice how area which should stay lit becomes pure black.
Look at “lit” area.
Now those “lit” area becomes black.
Im not really and fully understand BRDF theory and code, so doesnt really sure if its a problem with those G term calculations, or its a generic Cook-Torrance problem?
I guess those behavior are probably correct, cause surface normal of those problematic area are more like look to light position, and camera look from kind of “back side”. I mean something like this:
But again im nor sure does it really should work tthis way.
