DESCRIPTION

dxPtexViewer is a stand-alone application that showcases advanced HDR shading with color, displacement, occlusion and specular ptex maps. Multiple controls are available to experiment with the algorithms.

OPTIONS

See the description of the common comand line options for the subset of common options supported here.

-y

Swap Z-up geometry to Y-UP.

-e environment map

A low dynamic range spherical environment map used as a background. Ideally, a color-normalized version of the HDR light probe.

-d HDR diffuse map

An HDR file containing a diffuse environment map (typically they are low resolution blurry hemispherical convolutions of the environment light probe).

-s environment map

An HDR file containing a specular environment map.

--disp displacement scale

A scalar multiplier for the shader displacement values.

ptex color file

A ptex file containing RGB channels read as material albedo color.

ptex displacement file

A single-channel ptex file (preferrably float precision) containing the displacement values.

ptex occlusion file

A single-channel ptex file (preferrably 8 bits precision) containing a pre-computed ambient occlusion signal.

ptex specular file

A single-channel ptex file (preferrably 8 bits precision) applied to modulate the specular reflectance of the material

objfile(s)

A sequence of obj files used as an animation loop (the topology has to match the data contained in all the ptex files !)

KEYBOARD CONTROLS

q      : quit
esc    : hide GUI
f      : fit frame
+/-    : increase / decrese tessellation rate
