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 …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

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 …

Acache-efficient processor and method for rendering indirect illumination using interleaving
and Sub-image blur. One embodiment of the processor is configured to render an indi rect …

Interactive graphics has been limited to simple direct illumination that commonly results in
an artificial appearance. A more realistic appearance by simulating global illumination …

Important elements of games, movies, and other computer-generated content, shadows are
crucial for enhancing realism and providing important visual cues. In recent years, there …

We present a method for rendering single-bounce indirect illumination in real time on
currently available graphics hardware. The method is based on the instant radiosity …

To create realistic images using computer graphics, an important element to consider is
atmospheric scattering, that is, the phenomenon by which light is scattered by small particles …

Much progress has been made toward interactive ray tracing, but most research has focused
specifically on ray casting. A common approach is to use" packets" of rays to amortize cost …

Modern GPUs offer a degree of programmability that opens up a wide field of applications
far beyond processing millions of triangles at ever increasing speed. Raycasting is one of …
