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.

Famous quotes containing the words rendering and/or method:
“Woe to the makers of literal translations, who by rendering every word weaken the meaning! It is indeed by so doing that we can say the letter kills and the spirit gives life.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“... the one lesson in the ultimate triumph of any great actress has been to enforce the fact that a method all technique or a method all throes, is either one or the other inadequate, and often likely to work out in close proximity to the ludicrous.”
—Mrs. Leslie Carter (1862–1937)
