Multiple vertex merging Kun Xu
Previous works Photon mapping – Generate various light sub-paths and eye sub- paths – Merge a light sub-path and an eye sub-path to a full path – But, merge at ONLY ONE vertex
Our idea Light sub-path vertex Eye sub-path vertex
Our idea Light sub-path vertex Eye sub-path vertex
Naïve implementation of our approach
Fast evaluation by caching
Details How to calculate weight, probability and contribution? – Details coming soon … How to exactly do the caching scheme – Like walking on a “graph”
Discussion Will the proposed scheme better work for scattering media?
