Hello,
assuming the definition of radiance in http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~emmanuel/courses/cs563/write_ups/chuckm/chuckm_BRDFs_overview.html" , I want to compute the radiance at the point P=(0,0,0) lying on the xy-plane, given a point-source of light at (0,0,1).
The angle [itex]\theta[/itex] in this scenario is 0 because the light source is placed exactly on the zenith of P, so that integral would reduce to 0 and no light would arrive to the point P, which does not sound correct.
where is the misundersting in all this?
