Figure 1: A Many-Light Global Illumination approach is used to bake a compact light transport representation to a lightmap, while real-time frame rates are maintained. At any time, scene interactions (e.g., moving objects, adjusting lights) are allowed, and the illumination is seamlessly transformed from the old state to the new. A prioritizing update scheme resolves illumination errors in a way that the most significant changes are treated within the first seconds without noise or flickering artifacts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
