Adaptive pixel sampling order for temporally dense rendering

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that configure a computer to:

• select between a first ray tracing order and a second ray tracing order for pixels in different tiles of a video frame;
• select between a first supersampling pattern and a second supersampling pattern for ray tracing particular ones of the pixels, based on whether the particular pixels are static or dynamic;
• generate a plurality of video subframes by executing selected ray tracing orders and supersampling patterns;
• and
• wherein the selection of a ray tracing order fora articular tile is based on motion of the particular tile.

A computing apparatus, the computing apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the apparatus to:
• select one of a first ray tracing order and a second ray tracing order for pixels in a tile of a video frame;
• select one of a first supersampling ray tracing pattern and a second supersampling raytracing pattern on a per-pixel basis to generate one subframe for each ray traced position in the tile;
• render the video frame as a plurality of subframes generated based on the selected ray tracing orders and the selected supersampling patterns;
• and
• wherein selection of a ray tracing order is based on an angle of a motion vector for the tile.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that configure a computer to:

• generate a first video subframe by casting a first set of rays in a first order to a first tile of pixels in a video frame;
• generate a second video subframe by casting a first set of rays in a second order to a second tile of pixels in the video frame, the second order different than the first order;
• wherein the first order and the second order are each one of a bowtie order or an hourglass order;
• and
• combine the first video subframe and the second video subframe into a rendered video frame.

A method of generating computer graphics, the method comprising:

• generating a first video subframe by casting a first set of rays in a first order to a first tile of pixels in a video frame;
• generating a second video subframe by casting a second set of rays in a second order to a second tile of pixels in the video frame, the second order different than the first order;
• selecting either the first order or the second order for a particular tile of the video frame based on one or both of a motion vector and neighboring pixels of the particular tile;
• and
• combining the first video subframe and the second video subframe into a rendered video frame.
