Talk:Photon mapping
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It's hard to tell from this article what in particular makes photon mapping a specialisation of ray tracing; I assume it has something to do with the data structure used for "caching" the "photons"... ? Chas zzz brown 07:55 Jan 28, 2003 (UTC)
[edit] reverse ray tracing?
The article says that reverse ray tracing originates the light rays at the light source. But doesn't reverse ray tracing have the rays start at the camera? MichaelGensheimer 21:26, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)
