What I Learnt

Implementing the above mentioned aspects in HLSL helped me gain familiarity with graphics pipeline and a better understanding of how Fresnel, surface roughness, and microfacet geometry influence the appearance of material. More importantly, I became comfortable with the idea of experimenting and exploring further into graphics programming and DX11.
