| | Path tracing is all the rage in the offline rendering space these days. From Cycles to SuperFly (based on the open source Cycles) to Octane, most new rendering engines seem to be using this technology. Sometimes referred to as "unbiased, physically correct rendering" what is path tracing, how is it different to ray tracing and is it the future of high quality offline rendering? I will be looking to answer all of those questions in this blog post for anyone... Read More Read More

| A common part of most HDR rendering pipelines is some form of average luminance calculation. Typically it's used to implement Reinhard's method of image calibration, which is to map the geometric mean of luminance (log average) to some "key value". This, combined with some time-based adaptation, allows for a reasonable approximation of auto-exposure or human...
