ABSTRACT
The REYES [Cook et al. 1987] rendering architecture is a well known divide and conquer rendering algorithm. The algorithm subdivides complex primitives into micropolygons which are then shaded and sampled to produce final pixel colors. The most important advantage of the REYES algorithm over other rendering approaches such as raytracing is that shading quality is fully decoupled from image sampling - making it possible to adjust image sampling quality without affecting shading.

Interactive rendering of caustics using interpolated warped volumes
GI '05: Proceedings of Graphics Interface 2005In this paper we present an improved technique for interactive rendering of caustics using programmable graphics hardware. Previous real-time methods have used simple prisms for the caustic volumes and a constant intensity approximation at the receiver. ...
Template-based rendering of run-length encoded volumes
PG '97: Proceedings of the 5th Pacific Conference on Computer Graphics and ApplicationsTemplate-based volume rendering is an acceleration technique for volume ray casting. It does not trade-off the image quality for the rendering speed. However, it still falls short of interactive manipulation of volume data, mainly due to the ray-by-ray ...
