Abstract
A video rendering system includes a field-of-view detector, a display, and a computing platform including a hardware processor and a memory storing a multi-viewpoint video rendering software code. The hardware processor executes the multi-viewpoint video rendering software code to parameterize visible surfaces in a scene to define multiple texels for each visible surface, precompute one or more illumination value(s) for each texel of each visible surface, and for each texel of each visible surface, store the illumination value(s) in a cache assigned to the texel. In addition, the multi-viewpoint video rendering software code receives a perspective data from the field-of-view detector identifying one of multiple permissible perspectives for viewing the scene, and renders the scene on the display in real-time with respect to receiving the perspective data, based on the identified perspective and using one or more of the illumination value(s) precomputed for each texel of each visible surface.
