{ THE MODEL BEHIND IT }

SwitchLight 3.0

Eight labeled render passes of one portrait side by side: Source RGB, Normal, BaseColor, Metallic, Alpha, Depth, Roughness, and Specular

Our own model, developed in-house for physically based light transport.
Not an API wrapper, not a filter.
Every pass is grounded in how light actually behaves.
