PBR Skybox Texturing

Description¶

Demonstrates physically based rendering (PBR) using image based lighting, texturing and a skybox.

Physically based rendering sets metallicity, roughness, occlusion strength, the emissive factor and normal scaling of the object. Textures are used to set base color, ORM, emissivity and normals. Textures for the image based lighting and the skymap are supplied from a cubemap.

Image based lighting uses a cubemap texture to specify the environment. A Skybox is used to create the illusion of distant three-dimensional surroundings. Textures for the image based lighting and the skybox are supplied from an HDR or JPEG equirectangular Environment map or cubemap consisting of six image files.

A good source for Skybox HDRs and Textures is Poly Haven. Start with the 4K HDR versions of Skyboxes.

The parameters used to generate the example image are loaded from a JSON file with the same name as the example. In this case:

<DATA>/PBR_Skybox_Texturing.json

Where <DATA> is the path to vtk-examples/src/Testing/Data.

By default we use the equirectangular file to generate the texture for the lighting and skybox. We have optionally provided six individual cubemap files to generate lighting and a skybox.

For information about the parameters in the JSON file, please see PBR_JSON_format.

Options¶

Positionals:
 fileName              The path to the JSON file containing the parameters.

Options:
 -h,--help             Print this help message and exit
 -s,--surface          The name of the surface. Overrides the surface entry in the json file.
 -c,--use_cubemap      Build the cubemap from the six cubemap files. Overrides the equirectangular entry in the json file.
 -t, --use_tonemapping Use tone mapping.

Additionally, you can save a screenshot by pressing "k".

Download and Build PBR_Skybox_Texturing¶

Click here to download PBR_Skybox_Texturing and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball PBR_Skybox_Texturing.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

cd PBR_Skybox_Texturing/build

If VTK is installed:

cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

make

and run it:

./PBR_Skybox_Texturing

WINDOWS USERS

Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
