At every point in a 3D scene, light is coming in and light is going out. Each point of space is a little computer that takes as input the incoming spectrum from a set of spherical directions and delivers as output another spherical distribution of spectral intensities.

This course is concerned with algorithms for creating realistic 3D images by simulating the transport of light. Topics include ray-casting, sampling, reflectance, and transmittance.

The Visualization Lab is located in the 4th floor of the Dirac Science Library. It is available for your use weekdays between 8am and 5pm. When using the facility you are a guest of the School of Computational Science and Information Technology. Do not bring food or drinks into the lab.

For a minimal ray tracer, see Paul Heckbert's example.
