reflections

One of the first things that stands out is the lack of angle dependence in the floor reflections.

Unfortunately other physical aspects of light like diffuse reflections were not handled by early ray tracing algorithms.

Based on my own reflections on the Christian community I am part of, I'd have to agree.

Back in the day everyone used Whitted style ray tracers to render shiny metal blobs because secular reflections are trivially handled with ray tracing.

I don't think now you know exactly what kind of person I am, but they are partial reflections of my personality.

I also disliked them and thought they were mainly inaccurate reflections of the preceding question.

All reflections of a pretty weird state of affairs if I take a step back and try to look at things objectively.

The Mind's I: Fantasies And Reflections On Self & Soul, Hofstadter and Dennet.

Things like specular reflections and refractions are entirely dependent on where the viewer is; and calculating lighting information for an entire scene is way less efficient than calculating it for a viewer (see: how deferred renderers work).

Such as those used in GI or reflections?

This is trickier than normal imaging, because if you ignore the multiple reflections you're basically just inverting a matrix (a fourier transform in the case of single line imaging).

Current predictions are that path tracing will get more common, since the computation cost won't be prohibitive, and path tracing can handle shadows and reflections more easily AND more accurately.

There are optical-domain attacks for CRT monitors (including diffuse reflections off walls from the "blue glow"), likely similar for LCDs.

Just as contemporary art is a reflection of the prevailing philosophy [2], so is ViralNova a reflection of ubiquitous standards that trends, "hotness," and money are morally proper reflections of value in and of themselves.

Debuggers and profilers are essential tools, but I was surprised when I read the book "Coders at Work: Reflections on the Craft of Programming" that a lot of the greatest programmers debugged just with a printf.
