# Physically Based Rendering

### Real-time simulation of physical light and material properties specifically optimized for mobile GPU architectures.

> Realistische wirkende Materialien bei unterschiedlichen Lichtverhältnissen

**Simulating the exact physical behavior of light interacting with real-world surfaces defines the rendering fidelity of SCORE XR.** By adhering to the principles of energy conservation and microfacet distribution, Daniel Kuhnlein renders materials that look visually consistent under any lighting conditions. This physically based model translates complex mathematical equations into tactile, believable surfaces.

**GGX Microfacet Distribution**

Uses the GGX normal distribution function to model surface roughness at a microscopic scale. This generates photorealistic specular highlights that blur naturally as surface roughness increases.

**Geometric Shadowing**

Calculates self-shadowing on micro-geometry using the Smith-Schlick shadowing function. This prevents surfaces from reflecting more light than they receive, keeping highlights physically grounded.

**Fresnel Grazing Reflectivity**

Applies the Fresnel-Schlick approximation to dynamically increase reflection strength at grazing angles, giving materials like glass, plastics, and metals realistic edge highlights.

**From smooth glass to rough weathered metals,** physically based rendering ensures visual reliability across all virtual worlds. STD.DEV optimizes these shading algorithms to deliver photorealistic results at target frame rates in modern web browsers.
