This approach is geared towards VR applications, where realism and fast rendering is important. We exploit certain mathematical properties of diffuse reflections and certain features of graphics hardware for glossy reflections. This results in a very fast, single-pass rendering algorithm, which even allows to dynamically vary the incident lighting.Hardware AccelerationShading ModelsGlobal IlluminationTexture MappingFrameBuffer Tricks.10.2312/osg.20031423
