The normalization of NDF causes NDF to be greater than 1. This will eventually cause Specular BRDF to be greater than 1 for some m. Do you define a maximum cap of 1 in this case?
Because my understanding is that Specular BRDF should be less than or equal to 1.
Hey @alakhag, a well-defined BRDF integrates to 1 if you were to sum up all outgoing lighting over all view directions on the hemisphere. This does not mean that the NDF must be <= 1 for any combination of N and H, nor does it mean that result of the specular BRDF must be <= 1 for any given combination of L/N/V vectors. It just means that the total amount of energy being reflected in all directions must be less than or equal to the incoming energy.
