Contents
Photon mapping is a practical way of efficiently simulating global illumination, including caustics,
color bleeding, participating media, and subsurface scattering in scenes with complicated geometry
and advanced material models. This practical course provides a detailed introduction of the ray-tracing
and photon-mapping algorithms for simulating global illumination.
In the course of the exercises a raytracer/photon mapper will be implmented. Starting with the problem of a ray/object
intersection, lighting, reflection, refraction, shadows, the course will cover more complex problems such as
volume raycasting and will conclude with integeration photon mapping techniques for advaced effects such as caustics.
Since in this course many of the concepts of the lecture Computer Graphics
will be implemented, it is helpful for an in depth understanding of the fundamental ideas of computer graphics
to attend both the lecture together and the practical course.
