Reposted by Shlomi SteinbergYining Karl Li @yiningkarlli.bsky.social · 09/05/2026There's a neat short paper from Eurographics this year that evaluates how well microfacet shading models actually predict measured reflectance. The answer is: not nearly as well as one would hope! (1/3) ssteinberg.xyz/2026_surface... 38019
