In this post from Lighting Series, we are going to talk about light and radiometry. We will not enter in full detail about radiometric units in this post. In the next post, we are going to talk about radiant energy and radiant power (radiometric units).

In this opportunity, we are going to talk about the ambient occlusion pass. Its previous pass is GeometryPass and its next pass is EnvironmentLightPass. You can check BRE Architecture Series Part 7 – Geometry Pass and BRE Architecture Series Part 8 – Environment Light Pass. Before giving more details we are going to talk about ambient occlusion.

In this opportunity, we are going to talk about tone mapping pass and post process pass. Before ToneMappingPass we have SkyBoxPass and just later is PostProcessPass that is the last one (at least at the time of writing this article). You can check BRE Architecture Series Part 9 – Skybox Pass. Before giving more details we are going to talk a little about tone mapping.

In this opportunity, we are going to talk about the skybox pass. Its previous pass is EnvironmentLightPass and its next pass is ToneMappingPass. You can check BRE Architecture Series Part 8 – Environment Light Pass and BRE Architecture Series Part 10 – Tone Mapping Pass and Post Process Pass. Before giving more details we are going to talk a little about skybox mapping.

In this opportunity, we are going to talk about the environment light pass. Its previous pass is AmbientOcclusionPass and its next pass is SkyBoxPass. You can check BRE Architecture Series 11 – Ambient Occlusion Pass and BRE Architecture Series 9 – Skybox Pass. Before giving more details we are going to talk about environment light.

In this opportunity, we are going to talk about the most complex pass in BRE (at the time of writing this article). It is the Geometry Pass. It is the first pass to be executed at the beginning of each frame and its next pass is the AmbientOcclusionPass.

In this opportunity, we are going to talk about one of the most important components in BRE: the RenderManager. It is a class that inherits from tbb::task and it runs in its own thread. It has several responsibilities:

In this opportunity, we are going to talk about the scene generation process since it is loaded from a file stored on the disk until the data is ready and the command lists are recorded to feed the GPU.
Continue reading “BRE Architecture Series Part 5 – Scene Generation”
In this article, we are going to talk about the scene format that we use for BRE.
Continue reading “BRE Architecture Series Part 4 – Scene format”
In this opportunity, we are going to talk about the commonly denominated “utilities” or “helpers” of BRE.
To explain in more detail, we are going to divide this part per library and file.
