Efficient ray traced soft shadows using multi-frusta tracing
Ray tracing has long been considered to be superior to rasterization because its ability to trace arbitrary rays, allowing it to simulate virtually any physical light transport ef...

Precomputed radiance transfer for real-time rendering in dynamic, low-frequency lighting environments
We present a new, real-time method for rendering diffuse and glossy objects in low-frequency lighting environments that captures soft shadows, interreflections, and caustics. As a...
