Dr.Jit: A Just-In-Time Compiler for Differentiable Rendering

Sébastien Nicolas Speierer, Nicolas Julien Roussel, Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini

Dr.Jit is a new just-in-time compiler for physically based rendering and its derivative. Dr.Jit expedites research on these topics in two ways: first, it traces high-level simulation code (e.g., written in Python) and aggressively simplifies and specialize ...

Differentiable Signed Distance Function Rendering

Sébastien Nicolas Speierer, Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini

Physically-based differentiable rendering has recently emerged as an attractive new technique for solving inverse problems that recover complete 3D scene representations from images. The inversion of shape parameters is of particular interest but also pose ...

Efficient and Accurate Physically-Based Differentiable Rendering

Delio Aleardo Vicini

Physically-based rendering algorithms generate photorealistic images of virtual scenes. By simulating light paths in a scene, complex physical effects such as shadows, reflections and volumetric scattering can be reproduced. Over the last decade, physicall ...

A Non-Exponential Transmittance Model for Volumetric Scene Representations

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini

We introduce a novel transmittance model to improve the volumetric representation of 3D scenes. The model can represent opaque surfaces in the volumetric light transport framework. Volumetric representations are useful for complex scenes, and become increa ...

Path Replay Backpropagation: Differentiating Light Paths using Constant Memory and Linear Time

Sébastien Nicolas Speierer, Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini

Differentiable physically-based rendering has become an indispensable tool for solving inverse problems involving light. Most applications in this area jointly optimize a large set of scene parameters to minimize an objective function, in which case revers ...

Mitsuba 2: A Retargetable Forward and Inverse Renderer

Merlin Eléazar Nimier-David, Wenzel Alban Jakob, Tizian Lucien Zeltner, Delio Aleardo Vicini

Modern rendering systems are confronted with a dauntingly large and growing set of requirements: in their pursuit of realism, physically based techniques must increasingly account for intricate properties of light, such as its spectral composition or polar ...

A Learned Shape-Adaptive Subsurface Scattering Model

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini

Subsurface scattering, in which light refracts into a translucent material to interact with its interior, is the dominant mode of light transport in many types of organic materials. Accounting for this phenomenon is thus crucial for visual realism, but exp ...
