| We introduce an alternative to Monte-Carlo techniques for solving radiance transport problems for participating media. We use a reformulation of the volume rendering equation from its standard integro-differential form to a purely differential form. We then leverage the large body of work in numerical methods for solving differential equations by framing and analyzing the problem as a differential equation. To our knowledge, this is the first application of such techniques in the area of photo-realistic rendering of volumes based on ray optics. |
