“Autonomous lighting agents in global illumination”
Abstract:
In computer graphics, physically-based global illumination algorithms such as photon-mapping [2001] have a linear progression between complexity and quality. To a given quality, rendering time scales linearly with computer performances. With Moore’s law call in question and increasing demand in quality, those algorithms need more and more optimisations.
