Physically Based Shading

A 3D graphics technique that simulates the interactions between materials and light in a way that mimics reality. This method, which has recently become feasible in real-time graphics, is focused on creating a user-friendly approach to achieve consistent and plausible looks under different lighting conditions. PBS uses principles of physics, like energy conservation, Fresnel reflections, and self-occlusion of surfaces, to model light behavior realistically. It’s particularly beneficial in situations where lighting and materials need to interact in intuitive and realistic ways.
