The RADIANCE
Lighting Simulation
and Rendering System
Gregory J. Ward / GJWard@lbl.gov
We have outlined the goals for our rendering system and
linked them back to the three key challenges of accuracy, generality and
practicality.
Let us now explore some of the techniques we have found helpful in meeting
these goals and challenges.
We start with a basic description of the problem we are
solving and how we go about solving it in section 3.1,
followed by specific solution techniques in sections 3.2 to 3.5.
Sections 3.6 to 3.9 present some important
optimizations, and section
3.10 describes the overall implementation and
use of the system.
