We present a method for interactive rendering of dynamic models with self-shadows due to time-varying, lowfrequency lighting environments. In contrast to previous techniques, the method is not limited to static or preanimated models. Our main contribution is a hemispherical rasterizer, which rapidly computes visibility by rendering blocker geometry into a 2D occlusion mask with correct occluder fusion. The response of an object to the lighting is found by integrating the visibility function at… CONTINUE READING
