Interaction of Light and Materials

Pernroth

Hi,

I am in the process of making some blog posts for my students at Future Games Academy and Digital Graphics, and thought that this might be of interest to others as well. The first post of any substance is Interaction of Light and Materials, a subject that I find quite interesting. Especially now that many games move towards physical based rendering. More will come later, most of it pretty basic stuff. My hopes are that the blog can become helpful to the community.

Hi Pernroth,

thanks for putting this up, this will be really handy as I am soon looking to work more closely into lighting and shading! Will keep my eyes on your blog!

Cheers!

Great write-up. It's really simple to understand and very concise and not filled with crazy mathematics that most articles like this are comprised of.

Thanks! That was what I wanted, targeting artists that are not necessarily technically oriented.
The next post is up now, I posted it here.
