What is PBR?
PBR (Physically Based Rendering) is a rendering approach that uses physics-based calculations for more realistic lighting, while Blinn-Phong is a non-physically based, older shading model that approximates specular highlights. PBR uses techniques like energy conservation and microfacet models to create more accurate materials that react realistically to light, whereas Blinn-Phong often produces a plastic-like, less realistic appearance. PBR is generally more computationally efficient and produces more consistent results because it focuses on the material's properties rather than the final rendered output.

PBR (Physically Based Rendering)
- Based on physics: PBR is a collection of techniques that aim to mimic how light interacts with surfaces in the real world.
- Realistic output: It produces more realistic results because it uses inputs like the material's microfacet properties and energy conservation to calculate how light reflects.
- Consistent results: The final appearance is more predictable and consistent because it is not based on a specific "look" but on physical principles.
- Efficient: PBR is often more efficient, as it relies on a smarter implementation where a single material object contains all the necessary textures and a single drag-and-drop can apply them.
- Example textures: Uses textures like metallic, roughness, and normal maps to define the material's physical properties.

Blinn-Phong
- Approximation: It is a non-physically based shading model that approximates the appearance of light reflection.
- Less realistic output: It can produce a "plastic" or less realistic look because it doesn't account for real-world light behavior.
- Fixed pipeline: It was developed for older fixed-function graphics pipelines and works by calculating a specular highlight based on the angle between the view direction and a halfway vector, rather than the more complex rendering equation.
- Texture maps: It typically uses diffuse, specular, and other texture maps to define its appearance.


So what does that all mean? It means PBR is more efficient and better at handling how light reacts with a material, producing a more realistic rendering. So PBRs are considered materials and not simply textures, because all the bumps, surface roughness and textures are included on one packaged resource.

In the upper image, I put a light source between two cubes.
LEFT: PBR
RIGHT: Blinn_phong
You can see how the light reflects correctly on the left and the right looks more plasticy

In the bottom picture is:
LEFT: PBR Drag and drop
MIDDLE: Blinn-Phong Adjusted, meaning I turned down the default shininess
RIGHT: Default Blinn-Phong No adjustments made

X-petite: Vier Outfits, ein modischer Warnhinweis.

Weiß? Als wär’s ein Unschuldslamm mit Absatz. Streifen? Weil du dich nicht entscheiden musst, ob du süß oder gefährlich bist. Schwarz? Für alle, die beim Flirten lieber die Kontrolle behalten. Und Blau? Das Kleid, das aussieht wie „Ich hab keine Zeit für Smalltalk, ich bin hier, um zu glänzen.“

Diese Looks sind nicht für Leute, die sich fragen, ob das zu gewagt ist. Sie sind für Leute, die sich fragen, ob der Raum groß genug ist für ihr Ego und ihr Outfit. X-petite – trag’s, bevor es jemand anderer tut!

X-petite: Vier Outfits, null Kompromisse.

Wenn du denkst, du hast schon alles gesehen – zieh das hier an und warte, bis die Blicke rückwärts laufen. Von „Ich bin nur zum Tanzen hier“ bis „Ich regiere diesen Raum mit einem Augenbrauen-Zucken“: Diese vier Looks sind wie kleine rebellische Statements mit Absatz. Spitze, Glanz, Schnürung und ein Hauch „Was willst du eigentlich?“ – X-petite spielt nicht Dress-up, X-petite spielt Endgegner.

So, folks who go off whenever babies are mentioned can just #1 off, because no one gives a #2 about your histrionics. I warn you. I have more jokes.

Why is that baby still in diapers? I’ll give you two reasons: number 1 and number 2.

A baby’s laugh is one of the most beautiful things you will ever hear… Unless it is 3 a.m., you’re home alone, and you don’t have a baby.

A friend asked me if she should have a baby after 40. I said no, 40 babies are enough.

I think I'll post more jokes about babies so we can get a full chorus of people who feel compelled to, unnecessarily, discuss the p thing.
