The interaction of light and matter in the world surrounding us is of striking complexity and
beauty. Since the very beginning of computer graphics, adequate modelling of these …

This book provides a fundamental understanding of global illumination algorithms. It
discusses a broad class of algorithms for realistic image synthesis and introduces a …

We present a modified photon map** algorithm capable of running entirely on GPUs. Our
implementation uses breadth-first photon tracing to distribute photons using the GPU. The …

Lightcuts is a scalable framework for computing realistic illumination. It handles arbitrary
geometry, non-diffuse materials, and illumination from a wide variety of sources including …

In this paper we present" reflective shadow maps", an algorithm for interactive rendering of
plausible indirect illumination. A reflective shadow map is an extension to a standard …

Interaktive 3D-Computergraphik basiert heutzutage fast ausschliesslich auf dem
Rasterisierungsverfahren. Dieses ist heute sehr effizient und günstig realisierbar, stösst aber …

We present a method for interactive computation of indirect illumination in large and fully
dynamic scenes based on approximate visibility queries. While the high-frequency nature of …

A wrapper is a thin shell around the core, that provides the switching between functional,
and core-internal and core-external test modes. Together with a test access mechanism …

We present a fast and simple filtering method designed for ray traced Monte Carlo global
illumination images which achieves real-time rates. Even on modern hardware only few …

Recent years have seen increasing attention and significant progress in many‐light
rendering, a class of methods for efficient computation of global illumination. The many‐light …
