Solar design can take many different forms across disciplines with different methodologies
and goals, ranging from acquiring architectural visual effects to assessing illumination for …

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 …

We present a real-time neural radiance caching method for path-traced global illumination.
Our system is designed to handle fully dynamic scenes, and makes no assumptions about …

Efficiently rendering direct lighting from millions of dynamic light sources using Monte Carlo
integration remains a challenging problem, even for off-line rendering systems. We …

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 …

We present a new, real-time method for rendering diffuse and glossy objects in low-
frequency lighting environments that captures soft shadows, interreflections, and caustics …

Many computer graphics applications require high-intensity numerical simulation. We show
that such computations can be performed efficiently on the GPU, which we regard as a full …

A surface light field is a function that assigns a color to each ray originating on a surface.
Surface light fields are well suited to constructing virtual images of shiny objects under …

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

Indirect illumination is an important element for realistic image synthesis, but its computation
is expensive and highly dependent on the complexity of the scene and of the BRDF of the …
