Abstract

We introduce a pragmatic algorithm for real-time adaptive super-sampling in games. It extends temporal antialiasing of rasterized images with adaptive ray tracing, and conforms to the constraints of a commercial game engine and today's GPU ray tracing APIs. The algorithm removes blurring and ghosting artifacts associated with standard temporal antialiasing and achieves quality approaching 8x supersampling of geometry, shading, and materials while staying within the 33ms frame budget required of most games.

As shear-warp volume rendering is the fastest rendering method, image quality is not good as that of other high-quality rendering methods. In this paper, we propose two methods to improve the image quality of shear-warp volume rendering. First, the ...
Real-time multiply recursive reflections and refractions using hybrid rendering

We present a new method for real-time rendering of multiple recursions of reflections and refractions. The method uses the strengths of real-time ray tracing for objects close to the camera, by storing them in a per-frame constructed bounding volume ...
