Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for rendering light probes in a virtual environment are disclosed. Noisy lighting data is accessed in a data structure associated with a light probe in a set of light probes in an environment. The noisy lighting data is provided as an input to a neural network. The neural network is trained to output an estimate of non-noisy lighting data based on the input. The noisy lighting data is replaced in the data structure with the estimated non-noisy lighting data.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- accessing first lighting data in a data structure associated with a light probe in a set of light probes in an environment;
- providing the first lighting data as an input to an artificial intelligence, the artificial intelligence trained to output second lighting data based on the input, the second lighting data having a higher quality than the first lighting data;
- and
- replacing at least some of the first lighting data in the data structure with at least some of the second lighting data.
A system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer memories;
- a set of instructions stored in the one or more computer memories, the set of instructions configuring the one or more computer processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- accessing first lighting data in a data structure associated with a light probe in a set of light probes in an environment;
- providing the first lighting data as an input to an artificial intelligence, the artificial intelligence trained to output second lighting data based on the input, the second lighting data having a higher quality than the first lighting data;
- and
- replacing at least some of the first lighting data in the data structure with at least some of the second lighting data.
