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 …

Ray tracing has long been a method of choice for off‐line rendering, but traditionally was too
slow for interactive use. With faster hardware and algorithmic improvements this has recently …

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 …

Significant advances have been achieved for realtime ray tracing recently, but realtime
performance for complex scenes still requires large computational resources not yet …

Recent GPU ray tracers can already achieve performance competitive to that of their CPU
counterparts. Nevertheless, these systems can not yet fully exploit the capabilities of modern …

Arnold is a physically based renderer for feature-length animation and visual effects.
Conceived in an era of complex multi-pass rasterization-based workflows struggling to keep …

While contemporary approaches to SIMD ray tracing typically rely on traversing packets of
coherent rays through a binary data structure, we instead evaluate the alternative of …

Ray tracing has long been considered as the next-generation technology for graphics
rendering. Recently, there has been strong momentum to adopt ray tracing--based …

We introduce GRAMPS, a programming model that generalizes concepts from modern real-
time graphics pipelines by exposing a model of execution containing both fixed-function and …
