Rendering Method
The method aims to simulate realistic photon behavior by using an adapted ray tracing method similar to photon mapping, by sending rays from the light source. However, unlike photon mapping, each ray keeps bouncing around until one of three things occurs:
- it is absorbed by any material.
- it leaves the rendering scene.
- it hits a special photo sensitive plane, similar to the film in cameras.

“How shalt thou hope for mercy, rendering none?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Women are denied masturbation even more severely than men and that’s another method of control—they’re not taught to please themselves.... Most women—it takes them a while to warm up to the “situation” but once they get into it, I’m sure they’re going to get just as hooked as—well, everyone I know is!”
