Fast Exact From-Region Visibility in Urban Scenes
We present a fast exact from-region visibility algorithm for 2.5D urban scenes. The algorithm uses a subdivision of line space for identifying visibility interactions in a 2D foot...

Out of Core Photon-Mapping for Large Buildings
This paper describes a new scheme for computing out-of-core global illumination in complex indoor scenes using a photon-mapping approach. Our method makes use of a cells-and-porta...

Split-plane shadow volumes
We present a novel method for rendering shadow volumes. The core idea of the method is to locally choose between Z-pass and Z-fail algorithms on a per-tile basis. The choice is ma...
