By restricting the sample range along the ray to the valid segment.

this patch without light tree this patch with light tree (#119389) main without light tree main with light tree
mine.png mine_tree.png main.png main_tree.png

using equiangular sampling, 128spp.

TODO

Add support for

Mesh Light

  • restrict the ray segment to the side with MIS

Area Light

  • when the spread is zero, find the intersection of the ray and the bounding box/cylinder of the rectangle/ellipse area light beam
  • when the spread is non-zero, find the intersection of the ray and the minimal enclosing cone of the area light beam
    note the result is also unbiased when we just consider the cone from the sampled point in volume segment. Far away from the light source it's less noisy than the current solution, but near the light source it's much noisier. We have to restrict the sample region on the area light to the part that lits the ray then, I haven't tried yet to see if it would be less noisy.

Point Light

  • the complete ray segment should be valid.

Spot Light

  • intersect the ray with the spot light cone
  • support non-zero radius

Light Tree

  • ensure same light for volume and volume segment, see #119389

test file attached.

@brecht this patch is ready for review. Currently the ray segment is only computed when light tree is turned off, will compute also for light tree when #119389 is ready.

This patch basically adds a bunch of ray intersection and math utility functions, and depending on the light type it calls different intersection functions.
