   [**-d** *HDR diffuse map*]
   [**-s** *HDR specular map*]
   [**-y**]
   [**--disp** *displacement scale*]

   *ptex color file*
   *ptex displacement file*
   *ptex occlusion file*
   *ptex specular file*
   *objfile(s)*

DESCRIPTION
===========

``dxPtexViewer`` is a stand-alone application that showcases advanced HDR shading
with color, displacement, occlusion and specular ptex maps. Multiple controls 
are available to experiment with the algorithms.

OPTIONS
=======

**-e** *environment map*
  A low dynamic range spherical environment map used as a background. Ideally,
  a color-normalized version of the HDR light probe.

**-d** *HDR diffuse map*
  An HDR file containing a diffuse environment map (typically they are low
  resolution blurry hemispherical convolutions of the environment light probe).

**-s** *environment map*
  An HDR file containing a specular environment map.

**--disp** *displacement scale*
  A scalar multiplier for the shader displacement values.

**-y**
  Swap Z-up geometry to Y-UP.

**-l** *isolation level*
  Select the desired isolation level of adaptive feature isolation. This can be 
  useful when trying to load large pieces of geometry.

*ptex color file*
  A ptex file containing RGB channels read as material albedo color.
  
*ptex displacement file*
  A single-channel ptex file (preferrably float precision) containing the 
  displacement values.

*ptex occlusion file*
  A single-channel ptex file (preferrably 8 bits precision) containing a 
  pre-computed ambient occlusion signal.

*ptex specular file*
  A single-channel ptex file (preferrably 8 bits precision) applied to modulate
  the specular reflectance of the material
  
*objfile(s)*
  A sequence of obj files used as an animation loop (the topology has to match
  the data contained in all the ptex files !)


Keyboard Controls
=================

   .. code:: c++
   
      q      : quit
      esc    : hide GUI
      f      : fit frame
      +/-    : increase / decrese tessellation rate
