SIGGRAPH '84: Proceedings of the 11th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques

Ray tracing is one of the most elegant techniques in computer graphics. Many phenomena that are difficult or impossible with other techniques are simple with ray tracing, including shadows, reflections, and refracted light. Ray directions, however, ...
Interactive ray tracing
SIGGRAPH '05: ACM SIGGRAPH 2005 Courses

We examine a rendering system that interactively ray traces an image on a conventional multiprocessor. The implementation is "brute force" in that it explicitly traces rays through every screen pixel, yet pays careful attention to system resources for ...
Ray tracing-based interactive diffuse indirect illumination

Despite great efforts in recent years to accelerate global illumination computation, the real-time ray tracing of fully dynamic scenes to support photorealistic indirect illumination effects has yet to be achieved in computer graphics. In this paper, we ...
