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:
“How can you tell if you discipline effectively? Ask yourself if your disciplinary methods generally produce lasting results in a manner you find acceptable. Whether your philosophy is democratic or autocratic, whatever techniques you use—reasoning, a “star” chart, time-outs, or spanking—if it doesn’t work, it’s not effective.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
