Línea de trabajo

Read lib/rendering/pbr/light/DiskLight.cc and RectLight.cc, then locate the corresponding ISPC implementations and compare how sample() and intersect() calculate overlap bounds and PDFs. Reproduce the listed spread and reverse-sidedness cases, and check for relevant tests. Done means intersection PDFs match sampled PDFs for disk and rectangular lights across these cases, with the reported MIS discrepancy resolved.

Descripción

Two related problems in lib/rendering/pbr/light/DiskLight.cc and RectLight.cc (same in the ISPC versions), version 2026.29.1.

1. DiskLight: bounding box instead of the disk

Reproduce. Glossy floor (roughness 0.3) under a disk light, max_depth 1:

spread light samples only BSDF samples only both
1.0 0.04509 0.04510 0.04509
0.95 0.04114 0.04116 0.04139
0.8 0.02979 0.02980 0.02997

Cause. DiskLight::sample() uses mInvArea (1 / (pi R^2)) when the whole disk lies inside the spread region (lightIsInsideSpread), and the overlap rectangle otherwise. DiskLight::intersect() always calls getOverlapBounds, which in the first case returns the 2R x 2R bounding box, so the hit pdf is 1 / (4 R^2). The MIS weights of light and BSDF samples then do not sum to one.

Fix (untested). Use the same case distinction in intersect() as in sample().

2. Reverse and two-sided lights: signed distance

Reproduce. The same floor under a light with sidedness reverse and spread 0.8:

light light samples only BSDF samples only both
DiskLight 0.02980 0 0.02942
RectLight 0.03794 0 0.03725

Cause. intersect() computes float spreadLength = localP.z * mTanSpreadTheta; with the signed localP.z, which is negative on the reverse side. getOverlapBounds then finds no overlap and returns false without writing width and height; the return value is not checked and the pdf is computed from them. sample() uses the sign-corrected plane distance and is fine.

Fix (untested). Use abs(localP.z), and check the return value of getOverlapBounds.
