Shading Methods
Because the rendering method differs from both ray tracing and scan line rendering, photon tracing needs its own set of shaders.
- Surface shader - dictates how the photon rays reflect or refract.
- Absorption shader - tells the ray if the photon should be absorbed or not.
- Emission shader - when called it emits a photon ray

Famous quotes containing the word methods:
“Parents ought, through their own behavior and the values by which they live, to provide direction for their children. But they need to rid themselves of the idea that there are surefire methods which, when well applied, will produce certain predictable results. Whatever we do with and for our children ought to flow from our understanding of and our feelings for the particular situation and the relation we wish to exist between us and our child.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
