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:
“By rendering the labor of one, the property of the other, they cherish pride, luxury, and vanity on one side; on the other, vice and servility, or hatred and revolt.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“One of the grotesqueries of present-day American life is the amount of reasoning that goes into displaying the wisdom secreted in bad movies while proving that modern art is meaningless.... They have put into practise the notion that a bad art work cleverly interpreted according to some obscure Method is more rewarding than a masterpiece wrapped in silence.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
