How is CGI [Computer Generated Imagery] Made? 🖥️🏞 🛠️Exploring Ray Tracing and CGI - YouTube
Path tracing:
Global illumination = Direct illumination + Indirect illumination
Many shadow rays have to be sent to other objects in the scene for indirect illumination
The other objects will again calculate its GI acts as a secondary light source to the original object
Screen space ray tracing:
Using the rasterized image, depth map, normal map of objects rendered in the scene for ray tracing
This may not be as accurate as path tracing as object outside the screen space will not be considered
BVH: Bounding Volume Hierarchy
Built a binary tree structure to store the triangles in the scene, to quickly find the intersection of a ray with the scene
