Abstract:In this work, we apply single shooting in the novel context of solid angle based next event estimation and shadow boundary sampling for the efficient rendering of outdoor scenes. At the point where paths exit the atmosphere, the next event estimation constructs them so that they uniformly sample the solid angle that the Sun subtends. We go further to also efficiently render dusk and dawn scenes by using the same shooting methodology to find the boundary of Earth’s shadow.
