Bernstein Bounds for Caustics
Zhimin Fan, Chen Wang, Yiming Wang +5
Systematically simulating specular light transport requires an exhaustive search for primitive tuples containing admissible paths. Given the extreme inefficiency of enumerating all…

Specular Polynomials
Zhimin Fan, Jie Guo, Yiming Wang +7
Finding valid light paths that involve specular vertices in Monte Carlo rendering requires solving many non-linear, transcendental equations in high-dimensional space. Existing app…

Manifold Path Guiding for Importance Sampling Specular Chains
Zhimin Fan, Pengpei Hong, Jie Guo +3
Complex visual effects such as caustics are often produced by light paths containing multiple consecutive specular vertices (dubbed specular chains), which pose a challenge to unbi…
