I have been implementing a path tracer - while I initially started the process using a dummy Lambertian diffuse BRDF to focus on the base path tracer, I recently added a microfacet BRDF as an option. ...

I've noticed that my implementation of GGX VNDF sampling produces quite a lot of bad samples (below the hemisphere). When such a sample occurs, I terminate the ray, leading to an immediate black pixel....

If in the path tracing use case, I have some sampling strategies to sample a scattering direction in a 2D space ($\theta, \phi$). Of course, I need to convert it to a 3D direction vector (with length ...

My understanding is that path tracers deal with radiance because radiance is constant along a ray. You simply go through and evaluate the light transport equation: $$ L_o(p, \omega_o) = L_e(p,\...
