It was hard time to upgrade for Vista and Visual Studio 2008, I had to recompile all the libraries (linker errors – there are some incompatibilities between VS2005 and VS2008 linker).
I fixed method, make it accurate, finished writing and submitted PhD, now I am waiting for reviews.
I am going to start my own project, based on the new method I have in my head already growing.
First step will be optimizing current raytracer core code (yeah it is high time for better SAH based KD-tree) .
Oh I forgot to say, finally paper is accepted for conference!
Picture below is accuracy test, on the left Monte Carlo path-tracing (50 samples per pixel), the middle one is photon
lightcuts, and the right one is the voxel lightcuts method.
Overall method preview:
