Neural Caching of Prefiltered Radiance for Specular Lighting
arXiv cs.GR0 views
arXiv:2610.11702v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural Radiance Caching (NRC) provides an online neural representation of scene illumination for real-time path tracing. This paper presents an NRC variant tailored to specular lighting through a reflection-direction parameterization and a roughness-dependent radiance target. Our network predicts prefiltered incoming radiance at individual surface points, which is combined with a precomputed BRDF integration map using the split-sum approximation to estimate outgoing radiance. On Bunny and Specular Sponza, the reported comparisons indicate faster convergence to the accumulated path-tracing reference and improved specular-lighting quality relative to the evaluated NRC baselines. Our online-trained method maintains real-time performance while adapting its cache during rendering.
