Exit portal tests

Post by OnoSendai » Mon Jun 25, 2007 3:16 am

Results from first cut of exit portal code.
The exit portal consists of 2 triangles in a rectangular configuration covering the opening to the sky. The only lighting in this scene is from the physical sky + sun model.

This is a tricky lighting situation for the usual techniques, because of the small opening in the roof, which is tricky to sample.
MLT does better than bidir, but the blotches are still kinda nasty. The exit portal version easily performs the best.

are you going to make the exit portals topology and scene based or user defined? my personal view is that defining the exit portal in a scene is a little like modeling the kd tree by hand

What does that mean ? Would the user have to create geometry to indicate where the portal is ?

Indeed the difference in performances is HUGE !

Edit: BTW Ono what sampling method is used with portals ? bidir or mlt or any or ... ?

Maybe within Indigo, using importance sampling to determine the portal zone ?
