Moving Frostbite to PBR

Course presentation at SIGGRAPH 2014 by Charles de Rousiers & Sébastian Lagarde about transitioning Frostbite to physically-based rendering.

Over the course of the past few months, we have been re-evaluating our entire approach to image quality in Frostbite. Our overall goal has been to achieve a coherent and cinematic look while simplifying high-quality content creation for our game teams and artists. Moving to physically based rendering (PBR) was the natural way for us to achieve this.

This talk & detailed course notes covers what we’ve learnt during this R&D process and transition that we’ve gone through together with multiple game teams within Electronic Arts – all the different concepts & steps needed to transition a production game engine to PBR, including details that are often bypassed in the literature.
