WebRecently I was documenting myself on path tracing, and some of the techniques that can be used, like next event estimation, bidirectional path tracing, Russian roulette, etc. This is a case where ShaderToy can be an invaluable source of examples and information, and so I was browsing path tracing shaders there. http://sglab.kaist.ac.kr/~sungeui/ICG/Slides_2015Fall/Lec5-MCRT.pdf

Refraction and Ray Tracing - American Academy of Ophthalmology

WebAn overview of the Path Tracer in Unreal Engine. The Path Tracer is a progressive, hardware-accelerated rendering mode that mitigates the disadvantages of real-time features with physically correct and compromise-free global illumination, reflection and refraction of materials, and more. It shares the ray tracing architecture built into Unreal ... WebA Monte Carlo method called Russian roulette is used to choose one of these actions. If the photon is absorbed, no new direction is given, and tracing for that photon ends. If the photon reflects, ... For an accurate estimate of direct illumination, a ray is traced from the point of intersection to each light source. WebWhenever a ray hits a surface, a new ray is traced from that hitpoint in a random direction until the maximum path depth is reached or until a Russian roulette-like mechanism kills the ray. As a result, Brigade is able to produce effects like diffuse color bleeding, glossy (blurry) reflections, soft shadows, real area lights, true depth of field, and much more. tshilamba complex
