GI Techniques

As a part of the course, Realistic Image Synthesis, we explored different Global Illumination algorithms. Here I show the results of 2 algorithms that we implemented, Path Tracing and Progressive Photon Mapping, on a Cornell Box scene with slightly complex materials (diffuse is standard ^^).

Cornell Box (S-D-S path) - Progessive Photon Mapping
