Today, NVIDIA is releasing a SIGGRAPH 2021 technical paper, “Real-time Neural Radiance Caching for Path Tracing” that introduces another leap forward in real-time global illumination: Neural Radiance Caching. Global illumination, that is, illumination due to light bouncing around in a scene, is essential for rich, realistic visuals. This is a challenging task, even in cinematic…
