Written Exercise 1: Rendering Equation
Due on Tues, Sep 27 at 11:59PM
- A point light source having an intensity of 1 watt per steradian
(emitting uniformly in all directions) is 1 meter away from the center
of a square patch of surface, of edge length 1 meter. Find the
irradiance at the center of the square, and at the corner.
- Following are two different versions of the rendering equation.
For each one, provide a picture and short phrase or equation describing each
term (e.g., L(x' -> x'') is the radiance traveling from point
x' to point x''). Then, show that the equations are the same by
deriving one of them from the other.
