The behavior of daylight inside built settings, though complex, is well understood; and over
past years, designers and researchers investigated different tools and methodologies to …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

Ray tracing has long been considered as the next-generation technology for graphics
rendering. Recently, there has been strong momentum to adopt ray tracing--based …

Ray tracing is an inherent part of photorealistic image synthesis algorithms. The problem of
ray tracing is to find the nearest intersection with a given ray and scene. Although this …

The practical deployment of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) in rendering applications faces
several challenges, with the most critical one being low rendering speed on even high-end …

Nvidia RTX is a proprietary hardware-accelerated ray tracing technology. Since
implementation details are unknown, there were many questions in the development …

Ray tracing has been used for years in motion picture to generate photorealistic images
while faster raster-based shading techniques have been preferred for video games to meet …

Gamification, defined as the process of game-thinking and game mechanics to engage
users and solve problems, is a fairly new and rapidly growing field. Literature suggests that …

Hardware acceleration of ray tracing is an active research field, but only with the release of
Nvidia Turing architecture GPUs it became widely available. Nvidia RTX is a proprietary …

Ray tracing can generate photorealistic images with more convincing visual effects
compared to rasterization. Recent hardware advances have enabled ray tracing to be …
