Well done. You've clicked the tower. This would actually achieve something if you had logged in first. Use the key for that. The name takes you home. This is where all the applicables sit. And you can't apply any changes to my site unless you are logged in.

Our policy is best summarized as "we don't care about _you_, we care about _them_", no emails, so no forgetting your password. You have no rights. It's like you don't even exist. If you publish material, I reserve the right to remove it, or use it myself.

Don't impersonate. Don't name someone involuntarily. You can lose everything if you cross the line, and no, I won't cancel your automatic payments first, so you'll have to do it the hard way. See how serious this sounds? That's how serious you're meant to take these.

Rendering Participating Media Using Path Graphs

arXiv:2404.11894v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Rendering volumetric scattering media, including clouds, fog, smoke, and other complex materials, is crucial for realism in computer graphics. Traditional path tracing, while unbiased, requires many long path samples to converge in scenes with scattering media, and a lot of work is wasted by paths that make a negligible contribution to the image. Methods to make better use of the information learned during path tracing range from photon mapping to radiance caching, but struggle to support the full range of heterogeneous scattering media. This paper introduces a new volumetric rendering algorithm that extends and adapts the previous \emph{path graph} surface rendering algorithm. Our method leverages the information collected through multiple-scattering transport paths to compute lower-noise estimates, increasing computational efficiency by reducing the required sample count. Our key contributions include an extended path graph for participating media and new aggregation and propagation operators for efficient path reuse in volumes. Compared to previous methods, our approach significantly boosts convergence in scenes with challenging volumetric light transport, including heterogeneous media with high scattering albedos and dense, forward-scattering translucent materials, under complex lighting conditions.
