We introduce vertex block descent, a block coordinate descent solution for the variational
form of implicit Euler through vertex-level Gauss-Seidel iterations. It operates with local …

Monte Carlo (MC) path tracing is a popular realistic rendering technique widely used in
computer animation, film production, video games, etc. Compared with other rendering …

Recent advances in ray tracing hardware bring real-time path tracing into reach, and ray
traced soft shadows, glossy reflections, and diffuse global illumination are now common …

Neural rendering algorithms introduce a fundamentally new approach for photorealistic
rendering, typically by learning a neural representation of illumination on large numbers of …

Recent advancements in hardware-accelerated raytracing made it possible to achieve
interactive framerates even for algorithms previously considered offline, such as path …

Recent advances in neural rendering indicate immense promise for architectures that learn
