We describe a method to use Spherical Gaussians with free directions and arbitrary sharpness and amplitude to approximate the precomputed local light field for any point on a surface in a scene. This allows for a high-quality ...

Research in rendering large point clouds traditionally focused on the generation and use of hierarchical acceleration structures that allow systems to load and render the smallest fraction of the data with the largest ...

Layered materials capture subtle, realistic reflection behaviors that traditional single-layer models lack. Much of this is due to the complex subsurface light transport at the interfaces of - and in the media between - ...
