Research over the last 75 years has led to a rich toolbox of solution techniques for these types of problems, including Monte Carlo, Diffusion Theory, H-functions, Discrete Ordinates, and the Adding-Doubling method. I will give an intuitive overview of each of these techniques and discuss advantages and disadvantages. Following this, I will discuss how this problem is relevant to rendering, where it leads to a flexible and efficient method for rendering general layered materials.I.3.3 [Computer Graphics]Three Dimensional Graphics and RealismColorshadingshadowingand texture
