Computing lighting that looks real remains complex and inefficient, as the necessary consideration of all possible paths light can take remains too costly to be performed for every pixel in real-time.

New software techniques make lighting in computer-generated images look more realistic for use in video games, extended reality, and scientific visualization tools. Researchers at Dartmouth, in ...

Differentiable rendering has emerged as a pivotal suite of techniques bridging computer graphics with optimised, gradient‐based methodologies. By computing derivatives of rendering outputs with ...
