Accelerating shadow rays using volumetric occluders and modified kd-tree traversal
Monte Carlo ray tracing remains a simple and elegant method for generating robust shadows. This approach, however, is often hampered by the time needed to evaluate the numerous sh...

A New Object-Order Ray-Casting Algorithm
Many direct volume rendering algorithms have been proposed during the last decade to render 2563 voxels interactively. However a lot of limitations are inherent to all of them, li...

GPU-based Fast Ray Casting for a Large Number of Metaballs
Metaballs are implicit surfaces widely used to model curved objects, represented by the isosurface of a density field defined by a set of points. Recently, the results of particle...
