Abstract
Accelerating structure for hybrid ray tracing is characterized by high locality, wherein scene changes are updated locally in one of its hierarchies, without effecting other locations in the structure. Reconstructions of accelerating structures of prior art are replaced by low-cost updates. The efficiency of traversals is improved by a double step traversal.
