Photon mapping on programmable graphics hardware
We present a modified photon mapping algorithm capable of running entirely on GPUs. Our implementation uses breadth-first photon tracing to distribute photons using the GPU. The...

Realistic Reflections and Refractions on Graphics Hardware with Hybrid Rendering and Layered Environment Maps
We introduce hybrid rendering, a scheme that dynamically ray traces the local geometry of reflective and refractive objects, but approximates more distant geometry by hardwaresupp...
