27. Global Illumination for Interactive Applications and High-Quality Animations
Monday, Half Day, 1:45 - 5:30 pm
Room 29 A-D
Level: Advanced

The most recent research advances and industrial technologies for simulation of global illumination in animated scenes. This course provides better understanding of the issues raised by such simulations and a quick overview of the most up-to-date techniques for solving them.

Prerequisites
Basic understanding of ray tracing and the most commonly used global illumination algorithms, such as path-tracing and photon-mapping.

Topics
Caching and reusing shaded pixels. Using temporal coherence for global illumination. Enhancing animated lighting solutions. Interactive global illumination using a ray-tracing API. Advanced global illumination.
