Manuka: A Batch-Shading Architecture for Spectral Path Tracing in Movie Production

摘要

The Manuka rendering architecture has been designed in the spirit of the classic REYES rendering architecture: to enable the creation of visually rich computer generated imagery for visual effects in movie production. Following in the footsteps of REYES over the past 30 years, this means supporting extremely complex geometry, texturing, and shading. In the current generation of renderers, it is essential to support very accurate global illumination as a means to naturally tie together different assets in a picture.
