Light Path Gradients for Forward and Inverse Rendering

Tizian Lucien Zeltner

Physically based rendering is a process for photorealistic digital image synthesis and one of the core problems in computer graphics. It involves simulating the light transport, i.e. the emission, propagation, and scattering of light through a virtual scen ...

Path Replay Backpropagation: Differentiating Light Paths using Constant Memory and Linear Time

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini, Sébastien Nicolas Speierer

Differentiable physically-based rendering has become an indispensable tool for solving inverse problems involving light. Most applications in this area jointly optimize a large set of scene parameters to minimize an objective function, in which case revers ...

A Non-Exponential Transmittance Model for Volumetric Scene Representations

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini

We introduce a novel transmittance model to improve the volumetric representation of 3D scenes. The model can represent opaque surfaces in the volumetric light transport framework. Volumetric representations are useful for complex scenes, and become increa ...

Modeling specular transmission of complex fenestration systems with data-driven BSDFs

Jan Wienold

A Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function (BSDF) describes how light from each incident direction is scattered (reflected and transmitted) by a simple or composite surface, such as a window shade. Compact, tabular BSDFs may be derived via interpolat ...
