Instant Radiosity

Computer Graphics · Light Transport · 1997 · also: Virtual point lights, VPL · instant-radiosity.yaml

Represents indirect illumination by scattering a set of virtual point lights from the light sources, turning a bounce integral into ordinary direct lighting from many small lights.

Colour is the family; a dashed line is the second member of it.
