Path Tracer
Example 6: MeVis Path Tracer We have a Short video showing the possibilities of the MeVis Path Tracer on YouTube. Introduction The MeVis Path Tracer offers a Monte Carlo Path Tracing framework running on CUDA GPUs. It offers photorealistic rendering of volumes and meshes, physically based lightning with area lights and soft shadows and fully integrates into MeVisLab Open Inventor (camera, depth buffer, clipping planes, etc.).
Extra Infos: CUDA is a parallel computing platform and programming model created by NVIDIA.
Example 6.1: Volume Rendering vs. Path Tracer Introduction In this example you develop a network to show some differences between volume rendering and the MeVisLab Path Tracer. You will visualize the same scene using both 3D rendering techniques and some of the modules for path tracing.
Attention: The MeVis Path Tracer requires an NVIDIA graphics card with CUDA support. In order to check your hardware, open MeVisLab and add a SoPathTracer module to your workspace.
Example 6.2: Visualization using SoPathTracer Introduction In this tutorial, we will explain the basics of using the SoPathTracer module in MeVisLab. You will learn how to create a scene, assign materials, add light sources, and configure the PathTracer to generate enhanced renderings.
