Hybrid Rendering for Dynamic Scenes
<|reference_start|>Hybrid Rendering for Dynamic Scenes: Despite significant advances in algorithms and hardware, global illumination continues to be a challenge in the real-time domain. Time constraints often force developers to either compromise on the quality of global illumination or disregard it altogether. We take advantage of a common setup in modern games: having a set of a level, which is a static scene with dynamic characters and lighting. We introduce a novel method for efficiently and accurately rendering global illumination in dynamic scenes. Our hybrid technique leverages precomputation and neural networks to capture the light transport of a static scene. Then, we introduce a method to compute the difference between the current scene and the static scene, which we already precomputed. By handling the bulk of the light transport through precomputation, our method only requires the rendering of a minimal difference, reducing the noise and increasing the quality.<|reference_end|>
