This component of illumination is an indispensable tool, not just for creating atmosphere, but for drawing the player's attention to critical gameplay elements. Our system works in three phases. In the first phase, illumination from static light sources is captured in a three-level hierarchical volumetric clip map surrounding the player. inch per voxel. The clip map is updated incrementally, less than once per frame, as the player moves throughout the scene. In the second phase, a compute shader ray marches in view space throughout the clip maps, accumulating static lighting, dynamic lighting, and volumetric extinction. The ray marching is performed every frame and employs temporal anti-aliasing to improve quality. In the final phase, we resample lighting and volumetric scattering from the prior phase for each eye, once per frame. is a texture that describes for any given viewspace depth, volumetric scattering and extinction, which we apply during forward rendering.
