Multiple choice

What is the name of the algorithm that is used to accelerate ray tracing on GPUs?

  1. BVH

  2. KD-Tree

  3. Octree

  4. BSP Tree
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

BVH (Bounding Volume Hierarchy) is the name of the algorithm that is used to accelerate ray tracing on GPUs. BVH divides the scene into a hierarchy of bounding volumes, which allows the ray tracer to quickly determine which objects in the scene need to be intersected with the ray.

Multiple choice

What is the name of the technique that is used to create realistic shadows in ray traced images?

  1. Shadow mapping

  2. Ray shadowing

  3. Area shadowing

  4. Volumetric shadowing
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Ray shadowing is the name of the technique that is used to create realistic shadows in ray traced images. Ray shadowing works by tracing rays from the light source to the objects in the scene to determine which objects are in shadow.

Multiple choice

What is the name of the technique that is used to create realistic motion blur in ray traced images?

  1. Temporal anti-aliasing

  2. Motion blur

  3. Depth of field

  4. Bokeh
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Motion blur is the name of the technique that is used to create realistic motion blur in ray traced images. Motion blur simulates the way that objects appear blurry when they are moving.

Multiple choice

What is the name of the technique that is used to create realistic volumetric effects in ray traced images?

  1. Temporal anti-aliasing

  2. Motion blur

  3. Depth of field

  4. Volumetric effects
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Volumetric effects is the name of the technique that is used to create realistic volumetric effects in ray traced images. Volumetric effects simulate the way that light interacts with particles in the air, such as smoke, fog, and dust.
