US 2020/0005525 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING DYNAMIC REAL-TIME HIGH-QUALITY LIGHTING FOR DIGITAL ANIMATION

Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive a first set of static lighting information associated with a first static lighting setup and a second set of static lighting information associated with a second static lighting setup. The first set of static lighting information and the second set of static lighting information are associated with a scene to be rendered. A first set of global illumination information is precomputed based on the first set of static lighting information. A second set of global illumination information is precomputed based on the second set of static lighting information. The first and second sets of global illumination information are blended to derive a blended set of global illumination information. The scene is rendered in a real-time application based on the blended set of global illumination information.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, by a computing system, a first set of static lighting information associated with a first static lighting setup and a second set of static lighting information associated with a second static lighting setup, wherein the first set of static lighting information and the second set of static lighting information are associated with a scene to be rendered;
precomputing, by the computing system, a first set of global illumination information based on the first set of static lighting information;
precomputing, by the computing system, a second set of global illumination information based on the second set of static lighting information;
blending, by the computing system, the first set of global illumination information and the second set of global illumination information to derive a blended set of global illumination information;
and
rendering, by the computing system, the scene based on the blended set of global illumination information.
