In ray tracing or other rendering techniques, lighting applied to objects can be divided into two categories: direct lighting and indirect lighting. Direct lighting is light whose rays are emitted from a light source and are directly incident on an object of a scene without bouncing. Indirect lighting is all other lighting—light that bounces off of one or more objects in a scene and illuminates one or more objects of the scene. While direct lighting is relatively straightforward to calculate, performing ray tracing to determine indirect lighting can be very computationally intensive due to the significantly greater number of rays being simulated. For this reason, a machine learning model is being disclosed herein that generates indirect lighting given other information about the scene.
