Global illumination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Global illumination algorithms used in 3D computer graphics are those which, when determining the light falling on a surface, take into account not only the light which has taken a path directly from a light source (direct illumination), but also light which has undergone reflection from other surfaces in the world (indirect illumination). These algorithms model diffuse inter-reflection which is a very important part of global illumination, however most of these (excluding radiosity) also model specular inter-reflection too which makes them more accurate algorithms to solve the lighting equation and provide a more realistic globally illuminated scene. In real-time 3D graphics, global illumination is sometimes approximated by an "ambient" term in the lighting equation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Global_illumination   (386 words)

Global Illumination and All That Global illumination effects include the soft darkening under an object and near edges, color bleeding, etc. These effects are subtle, but important for the realism of an image. Another objection has been that global illumination algorithms have not been able to handle the insanely complex scenes that are routinely rendered in the industry. Simulation of global illumination has often been dismissed as being too inflexible and too slow for use in the effects industry. www.seanet.com /~myandper/abstract/sig03c09.htm   (420 words)

Globalization @ Globalists.com A consequence of economic globalization is increasing relations among members of an industry in different parts of the world (globalization of an industry), with a corresponding erosion of national sovereignty in the economic sphere. Globalization (or globalisation) is a social change, an increased connectivity among societies and their elements due to transculturation; the explosive evolution of transport and communication technologies to facilitate international cultural and economic exchange. Globalization also means cross-border management activities or development processes to adapt to the emergence of a globalized market or to seek and realize benefit from economies of scale or scope or from cross-border learning among different country-based organizations. www.globalists.com   (5622 words)

Global Illumination Images by Henrik Wann Jensen Global illumination is a superset of radiosity and ray tracing. The global illumination version took 12 seconds to render and 3 seconds of photon tracing time. This image from the animation "The Light of Mies van der Rohe" demonstrates how photon mapping can be used compute global illumination in a complex model. graphics.stanford.edu /~henrik/images/global.html   (823 words)

9 Using Procedural Shaders with Global Illumination Algorithms   As global illumination techniques are on the edge of being used in commercial applications, it is getting more and more important to find ways of suitably representing the physical properties of a scene description including the reflectance properties of surfaces and the energy distribution of light sources. Under the assumption that the computations of the shader are linear in the incoming illumination (as they should be, since the radiance equation is linear), the bidirectional reflectance is determined from the outgoing radiance returned by the shader. This construct is similar to a while loop in C. The arguments of the illuminance statement specify the directions from which the shader wants to receive illumination, in the form of a cone (axis and angle) at the shaded point. graphics.cs.uni-sb.de /~slusallek/Doc/html/node14.html   (4306 words)

Global Illumination The Global Illumination effects are set up in your scene, but they have not been tuned enough to yield good results. Global Illumination alone can be used to produce good quality images. Intensity is the option that controls how intense your Global Illumination effect is. The higher the number the brighter the effect will be. www.edharriss.com /tutorial_GI/xsi_global.htm   (1484 words)

Inverse Global Illumination - SIGGRAPH 99 Re-renderings are produced using a global illumination system under both original and novel lighting, and with the addition of synthetic objects. The method's input is a geometric model of the scene and a set of calibrated high dynamic range photographs taken with known direct illumination. The algorithm hierarchically partitions the scene into a polygonal mesh, and uses image-based rendering to construct estimates of both the radiance and irradiance of each patch from the photographic data. athens.ict.usc.edu /Research/IGI   (613 words)

Realistic Image Synthesis Using Photon Mapping This book is a practical guide to photon mapping; it provides both the theory and the practical insight necessary to implement photon mapping and simulate all types of direct and indirect illumination efficiently. Photon mapping, an extension of ray tracing, makes it possible to efficiently simulate global illumination in complex scenes. Photon mapping can simulate caustics (focused light, like shimmering waves at the bottom of a swimming pool), diffuse inter-reflections (e.g., the "bleeding" of colored light from a red wall onto a white floor, giving the floor a reddish tint), and participating media (such as clouds or smoke). graphics.ucsd.edu /~henrik/papers/book   (132 words)
