The paper presents a combined finite element and quasi-random walk method to solve the general rendering equation. Applying finite element techniques, the surfaces are decomposed into planar patches that are assumed to have position independent, but not direction independent (that is non-diffuse) radiance. The direction dependent radiance function is then computed by quasi-random walk. Since quasi-Monte Carlo quadrature is applied here to an integrand of finite variation, this method can take advantage of the superior convergence of quasi-Monte Carlo integration.

, but not direction independent radiance. The direction dependent radiance function is then computed by random walk using bundles of parallel rays. In a single step of the walk, the radiance transfer is evaluated exploiting the hardware z-buffer of workstations, making the calculation fast. The proposed method
Global Illumination using Parallel Global Ray-Bundles
"... A fast computation of unbiased global illumination is still an unsolved problem, especially if multiple bounces of light and non-diffuse materials are included. The standard Monte Carlo methods are time-consuming, because many incoherent rays are shot into the scene, which is hard to parallelize. On ..."

. On the other hand, GPUs can make the most of their computing power if the problem can be broken down into many parallel, small tasks. Casting global, parallel ray-bundles into the scene is a way of achieving this parallelism. We exploit modern GPU features to extract all intersection points along each ray

Photorealistic Image Synthesis Using Ray-Bundles
, 2000
"... lightsources, such as point or directional lightsources are preferred here, since their radiance is a Dirac-delta like function, which simplifies the integral of equation (2.50) to a sum. These methods take into account only a single reflection of the light coming from the abstract lightsources. Ide ..."

. Ideal mirrors and refracting objects cannot be rendered with these methods. 2. Recursive ray-tracing Another alternative is to eliminate from the rendering equation those energy contributions which cause the difficulties, and thus give ourselves a simpler problem to solve. For example, if limited level
Adaptive Ray-bundle Tracing with Memory Usage Prediction: Efficient Global Illumination in Large Scenes
"... Figure 1: Indirect illumination represented by 45.3M texel light maps for a large outdoor scene (4.9 km in diameter, 3.7M triangles).

○GeForce R○GTX 580). This paper proposes an adaptive rendering technique for ray-bundle tracing. Ray-bundle tracing can be done by per-pixel linked-list construction on a GPU rasterization pipeline. This rasterization based approach offers significant benefits for the efficient generation of light maps (e
