Importance Driven Texture Coordinate Optimization
Traditionally, texture coordinates have been generated based solely on the model’s geometry, often even before a model’s textures have been created. With the arrival of new te...

A Light Hierarchy for Fast Rendering of Scenes with Many Lights
We introduce a new data structure in the form of a light hierarchy for efficiently ray-tracing scenes with many light sources. An octree is constructed with the point light sourc...
