Abstract:
We developed a real-time solution for approximate global illumination, where the temporal cost in complex scenes is dramatically reduced. Our approach initially traces photon-rays with multiple cube-maps, and then gathers the irradiance of photons using uniform grids filled with low-order spherical harmonics. Numerous global illumination effects can be rendered efficiently in our framework.
