Physically Based collects reference values and tools for physically based rendering, aimed at CG artists who need accurate material and lighting data. It is a lookup resource for people working on realistic renders and shaders. Users browse the database to find values, open the tools section for rendering-related utilities, and can read about the project and how to contribute. The site installs as a standalone window with shortcuts to the database, tools and about pages.
