Abstract
The present invention teaches a real-time hybrid ray tracing method for non-planar specular reflections. The non-planar surface is handled by multiple small planar surfaces. Advantage is taken of the planar nature of triangles that comprise building blocks of a non-planar surface. All secondary rays bouncing from a given surface triangle toward object triangles keep a close direction to each other. A collective control of secondary rays is enabled by this closeness and by decoupling secondary rays from primary rays. The result is high coherence of secondary rays.
