ABSTRACT
We discuss our recent material test scene contribution to the USD Assets Working Group [2022] and enumerate some of its desirable test qualities. The scene employs modern geometry and material standards and has been released to the rendering community under a permissive licence, so that others may benefit from its useful properties, to encourage standardisation, and to remove the need for continuing reinvention.

The beam radiance estimate for volumetric photon mapping
SIGGRAPH '08: ACM SIGGRAPH 2008 classesWe present a new method for efficiently simulating the scattering of light within participating media. Using a theoretical reformulation of volumetric photon mapping, we develop a novel photon gathering technique for participating media. Traditional ...
Efficient Simulation of Light Transport in Scenes with Participating Media Using Photon Maps
Seminal Graphics Papers: Pushing the Boundaries, Volume 2This paper presents a new method for computing global illumination in scenes with participating media. The method is based on bidirectional Monte Carlo ray tracing and uses photon maps to increase efficiency and reduce noise. We remove previous ...
