For the next STORM seminar, Hugo Rens will give a presentation titled : Precomputing path tracing in volumes : update

Abstract

This seminar is a follow-up on a precedent seminar that talked about our ongoing work to view, in the context of volumetric rendering, some bounded participating medium as a filter, taking an incident radiance field and producing an exitant radiance field, that would correspond to the energy scattered by the volume. The technique proposes to approximate this filter and to precompute it using path tracing, and to demonstrate its use in an hopefully realtime engine. Since the previous seminar focused on an early version of the pipeline, here we will look at an updated version, and put the emphasis on the challenge of making the technique tractable.

This seminar will take place online on Friday 05/02 at 12:30pm.
