A hierarchical volumetric shadow algorithm for single scattering
Volumetric effects such as beams of light through participating media are an important component in the appearance of the natural world. Many such effects can be faithfully modele...

Real time volumetric shadows using polygonal light volumes
This paper presents a more efficient way of computing single scattering effects in homogeneous participating media for real-time purposes than the currently popular ray-marching b...

Epipolar sampling for shadows and crepuscular rays in participating media with single scattering
Scattering in participating media, such as fog or haze, generates volumetric lighting effects known as crepuscular or god rays. Rendering such effects greatly enhances the realism...

Deep shadow maps
We introduce deep shadow maps, a technique that produces fast, high-quality shadows for primitives such as hair, fur, and smoke. Unlike traditional shadow maps, which store a sing...

Gradient-based Interpolation and Sampling for Real-time Rendering of Inhomogeneous, Single-scattering Media
We present a real-time rendering algorithm for inhomogeneous, single scattering media, where all-frequency shading effects such as glows, light shafts, and volumetric shadows can ...
