ETHZ Path Tracing Project

In the computer graphics course at ETH Zurich, our task was to gradually add features and extend the capabilities of a ray-tracing framework called Nori.

Soms of the features that are showcased in the images and implemented throughout the course are listed below:

• Volumetric path tracing with multiple importance sampling
• Photon mapping
• Smooth mirror and dielectric BRDF models
• Microfacet BRDF model with Beckmann distribution
• Subsurface scattering with dipole approximation
• Multiple different types of light sources

For the final project, we were tasked with producing an image that combines implemented features into a given theme.
