Q1Domain Verified
In the context of PBR, what fundamental property of a material dictates how light scatters diffusely from its surface, independent of viewing angle?
Roughness
Specular Intensity
Metallicness
Albedo
Q2Domain Verified
When implementing a physically based shader, what is the primary purpose of the "Metallic" workflow parameter, assuming a non-metallic (dielectric) surface?
To increase the intensity of diffuse reflections.
To simulate subsurface scattering effects.
To tint the specular reflections with the surface's base color.
To reduce the amount of light that is absorbed by the surface.
Q3Domain Verified
A common pitfall in PBR is the use of overly saturated or "pure" colors for the Albedo map. From a physical standpoint, why is this problematic?
Pure colors imply a high level of diffuse reflectivity across the entire visible spectrum, which is physically impossible for most real-world materials.
Pure colors are computationally expensive to process in modern GPU architectures.
Pure colors drastically increase specular highlights, leading to unrealistic shininess.
Pure colors can cause aliasing artifacts in the diffuse lighting calculation.
