SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOTE GENERATION INDIRECT ILLUMINATION SOURCES IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL GRAPHICS

摘要

A method for generating three-dimensional graphics includes generating a virtual environment in a server including a first object, second object and a direct illumination source. The method includes generating a virtual point light (VPL) in the virtual environment at an intersection between a ray from the direct illumination source and the first object, and sending data corresponding to the VPL to a client computing device through a data network. The method includes generating an illumination of the second object in the virtual environment with the VPL received from the server, and displaying the illuminated second object.
