The presentation will begin with a short introduction to the work Chaos Group has done in the field of photorealistic rendering. The next part will cover the latest developments in light transport simulation algorithms, including path integral formulation of the rendering equation, multiple importance sampling, and newer algorithms like progressive photon mapping and vertex connection merging. The final part of the presentation will discuss implementation details for some of the algorithms in a distributed heterogenous computing environment based on CPUs and GPGPUs.
