A Generalizable Light Transport 3D Embedding for Global Illumination
Researchers have developed a novel 3D light transport embedding that approximates global illumination directly from 3D scene configurations, bypassing the need for traditional computationally expensive methods. This approach represents scenes as point clouds with geometric and material features, processed by a transformer model to create neural primitives. These primitives are then used at render time to predict rendering quantities, demonstrating effectiveness across diverse indoor scenes and showing potential for adaptation to new rendering tasks. AI
