Real-Time Global Illumination is the key to a more dynamic and physically real world in performance-critical applications like games or any other real-time-constrained application. Hardware-accelerated ray tracing in modern GPUs allows arbitrary cross-querying of geometry, which allows indirect lighting to be fully evaluated at runtime. However, in order to maintain high frame rates at ever-increasing image resolutions, only a small amount can be tracked per pixel…
