Stream Processing in Global Illumination
This paper presents the implementation of the stochastic radiosity algorithm on the graphics hardware. We store the radiosity function in texels of the floating point pbuffer. The radiosity function is updated in each iteration. When converged, the radiosity function is mapped onto surfaces by traditional texture mapping. Our goal is to enable interactive radiosity style rendering of scenes wit...
متن کاملCalculating Hierarchical Radiosity Form Factors using Programmable Graphics Hardware
We present a method for the efficient calculation of multi-resolution radiosity form factors using programmable graphics hardware. Mipmapped ID textures are used to allow for highly refined patches with the mipmapping mechanism working as a hardware accelerated oracle for the dynamic linking of patch hierarchies. The actual form factor values for unoccluded patches are then computed with the an...
متن کاملInteractive Walkthroughs and Higher Order Global Illumination
The subtle lighting effects, which can be simulated by global illumination, are important to make virtual worlds look realistic. Higher order global illumination methods, like Wavelet Radiosity, have proven to be very efficient, but do not directly lead to solutions that can be used by the hardware used to display walkthroughs. In this paper, we discuss methods to efficiently map these higher o...
متن کاملA Two-Pass Hardware-Based Method for Hierarchical Radiosity
Finite elements methods for radiosity are aimed at computing global illumination solutions efficiently. However these methods are not suitable for obtaining high quality images due to the lack of error control. Two-pass methods allow to achieve that level of quality computing illumination at each pixel and thus introducing a high computing overhead. We present a two-pass method for radiosity th...
متن کاملTowards Optimal Combination of Shooting and Gathering Stochastic Radiosity
This paper deals with combination of shooting and gathering stochastic radiosity methods. The basic two-pass methods are reviewed and other new methods are proposed. The fundamental motivation for this paper is to develop an iterative two-pass stochastic radiosity that provides the progressive refinement feature of both types of radiosity algorithms. We want to give the user a new, better, solu...
