We learn how to compute where a ray of light intersects a sphere. The advantages of parametric equations over the classical implicit formulations (in this context) are also discussed. Turns out there is some beauty to be seen and appreciated during the process!<\/p>\n
About the course:
\nThis course aims to give an overview of basic and state-of-the-art methods of rendering. Offline methods such as ray and path tracing, photon mapping and many other algorithms are introduced and various refinement are explained. <\/p>\n
The basics of the involved physics, such as geometric optics, surface and media interaction with light and camera models are outlined. <\/p>\n
The apparatus of Monte Carlo methods is introduced which is heavily used in several algorithms and its refinement in the form of stratified sampling and the Metropolis-Hastings method is explained. <\/p>\n
At the end of the course students should be familiar with common techniques in rendering and find their way around the current state-of-the-art of the field. Furthermore the exercises should deepen the attendees’ understanding of the basic principles of light transport and enable them to write a simple rendering program themselves.<\/p>\n
