The Global Illumination using the Photon Mapping
Takehiro Tawara,
The top image is rendered using the "Photon Mapping" technique. It represents
many important lighting transports which are difficult without a correct
simulation of the global illumination. This scene is challenging because the
only light source is in the next room and the most part of the front room is
illuminated indirectly. For the reason of correctness and efficiency, the
image is separated into several components shown in the bottom images: from the
left to right, the direct illumination, indirect illumination, specular and
caustic illumination.
