Approximate ambient occlusion for trees
Natural scenes contain large amounts of geometry, such as hundreds of thousands or even millions of tree leaves and grass blades. Subtle lighting effects present in such environme...

Two Methods for Fast Ray-Cast Ambient Occlusion
Ambient occlusion has proven to be a useful tool for producing realistic images, both in offline rendering and interactive applications. In production rendering, ambient occlusion...

Hardware-accelerated ambient occlusion computation
In this paper, we present a novel, hardwareaccelerated approach to compute the visibility between surface points and directional light sources. Thus, our method provides a first-o...

Fast Occlusion Sweeping
While realistic illumination significantly improves the visual quality and perception of rendered images, it is often very expensive to compute. In this paper, we propose a new al...

Ambient occlusion fields
We present a novel real-time technique for computing inter-object ambient occlusion. For each occluding object, we precompute a field in the surrounding space that encodes an app...
