Many Light Sampling


Mentors
Lukas Stockner, Brecht Van Lommel
Organization
Blender Foundation

This project will implement the following paper, "Importance Sampling of Many Lights with Adaptive Tree Splitting" by Alejandro Conty and Christopher Kulla. This method reduces the time for Blender's in-house renderer Cycles to generate images of scenes with a large number of light sources in them. This gives more freedom for the lighting artists to create the scenes they imagine without having to worry about performance.
