Abstract
Physically-based volume rendering generates a lightfield. The locations of scattering modeled in physically-based rendering are used to assign depths for the lightfield. The previously assigned depths and previously rendered lightfield are used for lightfield rendering, which may be performed more rapidly than the physically-based volume rendering.
