CS5611 Reading List: Week 6

Textbook Material
Read the following materials (same as last week)
  • The photon-mapping slides Photon-Mapping.pdf.
  • I will provide more info about your term project. You should seriously think about one. Or, I will assign you one. Here are some more ideas about photon-mapping:
    • Caustics generation for other objects. For example, cylinder (shown in classroom), diamonds, crystals, etc can be very interesting.
    • Caustics generation of water or other irregular shapes. Have you seen caustics in a swimming pool?
  • The shadows generation and texture mapping slides are Shadow.pdf and Texture.pdf
