ALT Holographic Radiance Cascades in real-time 3D with equal-angle rays (U-HRC) at a dense field density of 32^3. Includes a wax cube with subsurface scattering and colored caustics on the floor, dispersed between yellow and darker orange.
ALT Spectral path-tracer reference accumulated over an hour. Some chroma noise is still visible. Includes a wax cube with subsurface scattering and colored caustics on the floor, dispersed between yellow and darker orange.
ALT A diagram depicting ray-interval scaling according to coverage and blurriness of a shadow penumbra, where step size increases as shadow detail decreases over distance.
ALT (left) Diagrams depicting multiple cascades with different spatial resolution and angular resolution but constant angular support to maintain the minimum penumbra criterion. (right) diagram overlaying cascades and ray-interval path when merging cascades to get (ir)radiance at a point.
ALT Software BVH based on NVIDIA's "Spatial Splits in Bounding Volume Hierarchies," visualized with a costing heatmap in Sponza.
