[ D_GGX(m) = \frac\alpha^2\pi \left( (n \cdot m)^2 (\alpha^2 - 1) + 1 \right)^2 ]

The ( G(l,v) ), using the Smith model (GGX variant), ensures energy conservation: vray materials

[ F_conductor = \frac(n^2 + k^2) - 2n\cos\theta + \cos^2\theta(n^2 + k^2) + 2n\cos\theta + \cos^2\theta ] [ D_GGX(m) = \frac\alpha^2\pi \left( (n \cdot m)^2

Where ( \alpha = \textRoughness^2 ) (in V-Ray’s remapping). This distribution has a higher kurtosis than Beckmann, producing brighter specular cores and more pronounced falloff—critical for anistropic metals. using the Smith model (GGX variant)
