A computer graphics system and a method for generating pixel values in an image of objects using strictly-deterministic low-discrepancy sequences as sample points for evaluating integrals which are used to simulate a number of computer graphic techniques including soft shadows, simulation of depth of field, motion blur, jittering, and global illumination. Unlike the random numbers used in connection with the Monte Carlo technique, the low discrepancy sequences ensure that the sample points are evenly distributed over a respective region or time interval, thereby reducing clumping of such sample points. The invention facilitates the generation of images of improved quality when using the same number of sample points at the same computational cost as in the Monte Carlo technique.
