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

Modern rendering systems are confronted with a dauntingly large and growing set of
requirements: in their pursuit of realism, physically based techniques must increasingly …

The behavior of daylight inside built settings, though complex, is well understood; and over
past years, designers and researchers investigated different tools and methodologies to …

We propose to use deep neural networks for generating samples in Monte Carlo integration.
Our work is based on non-linear independent components estimation (NICE), which we …

Differentiable rendering has recently opened the door to a number of challenging inverse
problems involving photorealistic images, such as computational material design and …

We present a method for reducing errors---variance and bias---in physically based
differentiable rendering (PBDR). Typical applications of PBDR repeatedly render a scene as …

Abstract Physics-based differentiable rendering---which is concerned with estimating
derivatives of photorealistic rendering with respect to arbitrary scene parameters---has a …

Physics-based differentiable rendering is the task of estimating the derivatives of radiometric
measures with respect to scene parameters. The ability to compute these derivatives is …

The wide adoption of path‐tracing algorithms in high‐end realistic rendering has stimulated
many diverse research initiatives. In this paper we present a coherent survey of methods that …

This paper introduces a simple and robust progressive global illumination algorithm based
on photon mapping. Progressive photon mapping is a multi-pass algorithm where the first …
