2、peline model in which primitives are rendered one at timeNo shadows (except by tricks or multiple renderings)No multiple reflectionsGlobal approachesRendering equationRay tracingRadiosity3Angel: Interactive Computer Graphics 5E Addison-Wesley 2009Ray TracingFollow rays of light from a point sourceCa

3、n account for reflection and transmission4Angel: Interactive Computer Graphics 5E Addison-Wesley 2009ComputationShould be able to handle all physical interactionsRay tracing paradigm is not computationalMost rays do not affect what we seeScattering produces many (infinite) additional raysAlternative

5、isualize quadrics which are implicit surfaces in CSG systemsConstructive Solid GeometryPrimitives are solidsBuild objects with set operationsUnion, intersection, set difference7Angel: Interactive Computer Graphics 5E Addison-Wesley 2009Ray Casting a SphereRay is parametricSphere is quadricResulting

6、equation is a scalar quadratic equation which gives entry and exit points of ray (or no solution if ray misses)8Angel: Interactive Computer Graphics 5E Addison-Wesley 2009Shadow RaysEven if a point is visible, it will not be lit unless we can see a light source from that pointCast shadow or feeler r
