Abstract:
Multiple scattering is a crucial part of photorealistic rendering of high-albedo media. In the production rendering context, current techniques include wavefront tracking [Miller et al. 2012] as well as modified shadow calculations [Wrenninge et al. 2013] (hereon referred to as the contrast approximation). In order to convincingly render optically thick media, high scatter orders must be included, upwards of 100 bounces. Also, anisotropic effects must be handled.
