  1. Interreflections and Radiosity : The Forward Problem Lecture #11 Thanks to Kavita Bala, Pat Hanrahan, Doug James, Ledah Casburn

  2. Cornell Box blue hue red hue

  3. Phong Shading Plastic looking scene • no object interactions • no shadows

  4. Ray Tracing Scene doesn’t look realistic enough. • where is the corner of room? • is window flush with wall? • is the carpet and wood supposed to be this dark?

  5. Radiosity – today’s topic Indirect lighting affects realism. • room has a corner • window has depth • carpet and wood on table • is lighter • walls look more pink

  6. The Rendering Equation – Graph Style p’’ source viewer p’ p Reflectance from Surfaces Emission (light source) Visibility (shadows)

  7. Diffuse Interreflections - Radiosity • Consider lambertian surfaces and sources. • Radiance independent of viewing direction. • Consider total power leaving per unit area of a surface. • Can simulate soft shadows and color bleeding • from diffuse surfaces. • Used abundantly in heat transfer literature

  8. Irradiance, Radiosity • Irradiance E is the power received per unit surface area • Units: W/m2 • Radiosity • Power per unit area leaving the surface (like irradiance)

  9. Planar piecewise constancy assumption • Subdivide scene into • small “uniform” polygons

  10. Power Equation • Power from each polygon: • Linear System of Equations:

  11. Form Factors Invariant

  12. Form Factor Computation • Schroeder and Hanrahan derived an analytic expression • for polygonal surfaces. • In general, computing double integral is hard. • Use Monte Carlo Integration.

  13. Form Factor Computation

  15. Linear System of Radiosity Equations Known Known Unknown • Matrix Inversion to Solve for Radiosities.

  30. Two Pass Solution • First Pass: Diffuse Interreflections • View independent, global diffuse illumination • computed with radiosity. • Second Pass: Specular Interreflections • View dependent, global specular illumination • computed with ray-tracing. • Combine strengths of radiosity and ray-tracing.
