Disclosed approaches provide for interactions of secondary rays of light transport paths in a virtual environment to share lighting contributions when determining lighting conditions for a light transport path. Interactions may be shared based on similarities in characteristics (e.g., hit locations), which may define a region in which interactions may share lighting condition data. The region may correspond to a texel of a texture map and lighting contribution data for interactions may be accumulated to the texel spatially and/or temporally, then used to compute composite lighting contribution data that estimates radiance at an interaction. Approaches are also provided for reprojecting lighting contributions of interactions to pixels to share lighting contribution data from secondary bounces of light transport paths while avoiding potential over blurring.
