Gallery

Because I'm way too lazy to figure out how to add images to this Wiki, the gallery is currently hosted at Google: https://plus.google.com/photos/107968783614195434185/albums/5660724573840020945

Features

rendering algorithms
- direct lighting
- path tracing
- bidirectional path tracing (no multiple importance sampling)
- stochastic progressive photon mapping
- metropolis light transport (with sample space mutations), can use
  - path tracing and
  - bidirectional path tracing for integration
primitives
- triangle meshes
- fractals
  - the Mandelbulb
  - quaternion based Julia set
- heightmaps
- geometric primitives, which are all usable as light sources
  - boxes
  - cylinders
  - disks
  - quads
  - spheres
light sources
- infinite area lights with
  - support for reading HDR environment maps and
  - Perez' physically based sun / sky model
- directional light sources (commonly used to simulate the sun)
- point lights
- area lights (light emitting geometric primitives)
reflection models
- diffuse
- specular (reflection and transmission, including Fresnel incidence effects)
- microfacet based
  - Blinn / Phong
  - anisotropic
spectral rendering (but no dispersion / diffraction / polarization)
image reconstruction filters
- box
- triangle
- Mitchell
- windowed Sinc and
- Gaussian
cameras
- pinhole and
- thin lens
