Monte Carlo Path Tracer

Path Tracing is a rendering technique to generate images from 3D scenes as realistically as possible. Path tracing utilizes an estimation method called Monte Carlo estimation to approximate the light energy for a point from an arbitrary amount of samples. This will allow the light contribution to converge towards a solution that solves the Light Transport Equation.

My path tracer supports multiple importance sampling, global illumination, volumetric rendering, and BVH acceleration

Adaptive Sampling

I've also written an adaptive sampling feature where the variance gets calculated for each pixel and if the variance is outside a certain threshold, the pixel gets resampled. This led to faster render times (less samples per pixel) and less noisy renders.</a> </div>
