I always get confused when speaking about "cone tracing", because some people mean "tracing thick rays" (a method to implement anti-aliasing) where others Tue, 11 Jan 2005 21:08:39 GMT MightyMartin http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/312 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/312 Hello all, let me introduce myself. My name is Martin, and i'm a student in a university in Indonesia. Right now, i'm studying Ray Tracing as my Final Project, Wed, 21 Apr 2004 10:39:22 GMT quartzy75 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/311 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/311 Hmmm, two projects that might be of some interest, both aiming at interactive shading: Gelato is Exluna's evolution, running partly on GPU... it'd be nice to Tue, 14 Oct 2003 22:12:04 GMT Piero Foscari http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/310 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/310 Fri, 13 Jun 2003 21:31:49 GMT Joachim Diepstraten http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/309 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/309 Hi ... That's not the one I ment, I ment the one you mention below (which is at the same conference, Purcell's Photon mapping is GH and Carr is GH this year Fri, 13 Jun 2003 21:25:23 GMT Piero Foscari http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/308 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/308 ... Actually I had originally written "(is ra2m still a dream?)" :-) But who knows what will those guys come up with? Its all evolving so quickly... i.e. Thu, 12 Jun 2003 10:54:54 GMT Eric Haines http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/307 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/307 ...

Yes definitly. Having normaly not random access is what makes gpu's fast. Look at data rates drop when using texture Tue, 10 Jun 2003 22:23:56 GMT A.W. van den Heuvel http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/304 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/304 Hi, I recently came accross the following paper: http://www.research.scea.com/gdc2003/spherical-harmonic-lighting.pdf Still haven't checked it but it seems to Mon, 09 Jun 2003 22:15:55 GMT Piero Foscari http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/303 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/303 Hi all.... So, some news, a paper from Tim Purcell implementing photon mapping on the GPU; pretty interesting but its not yet practical (i.e. photon splatting Tue, 25 Mar 2003 16:11:55 GMT Greg Alt http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/302 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/302 I thought I'd share some things I came across and see if anyone has other links. I'm a game programmer professionally, and I'm very interested in real-time Wed, 14 Aug 2002 11:34:56 GMT Sebastian Marketsmueller http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/301 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/301 hi, the benchmark is nice, but the page is a little uninformative for the interrested programmer :) could you tell us a little about the dirty details of the Wed, 14 Aug 2002 10:06:58 GMT Lode Vandevenne http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/300 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/realtime_raytracing/message/300 I released an open source volumetric raytracer (after some discussions I found out that volumetric raytracer is the most correct name for it), the project is
