Metropolis Light Transport | Two Minute Papers #16
Metropolis light transport is an advanced photorealistic rendering technique that is remarkably effective at finding the brighter regions of a scene and building many light paths that target these regions. The resulting algorithm is more efficient than traditional random path building algo

TU Wien Rendering #33 - Metropolis Light Transport
Metropolis Light Transport is a powerful technique that can outperform the convergence speed of Bidirectional Path Tracing on most difficult scenes (what makes a scene difficult is a story on its own). It promises optimal importance sampling "along multiple steps" in the stationary distrib

TU Wien Rendering #37 - Manifold Exploration
That pesky torus enclosed in the glass cube again! Since it contains lots of SDS light paths, it is the bane of many rendering algorithms. However, it is no match for Wenzel Jakob's Manifold Exploration technique that explicitly looks for these paths and runs an equation solving system to

TU Wien Rendering #34 - SDS Transport, Photon Mapping
We have learned quite a few powerful algorithms for global illumination, but there still seems to be a peculiar scene with a torus inside a block of glass that just doesn't want to give in and render. It contains specular-diffuse-specular interactions that are particularly difficult, or of

TU Wien Rendering #35 - Stochastic Progressive Photon Mapping
Photon mapping is working great for a variety of scenes. Ideally, we would like to have a large number of photons for caustics, indirect illumination, etc. but having only a finite amount of photons in our photon maps introduces problems. To remedy this, Toshiya Hachisuka came up with Stoc
