Tomasz Stochastic showcased a new global illumination system Kajiya.
Programmer at Embark Studios Tomasz Stochastic demonstrated Kajiya, a brand new global illumination system powered by Rust, a multi-paradigm, general-purpose programming language. According to the developer, Kajiya uses a range of techniques to render an approximation of global illumination in real-time, striking a compromise between performance and correctness.
"Being a toy renderer free from the constraints necessary to ship games, this compromise is a bit different from those made by the large engines out there. The renderer is a vehicle for learning rather than something strictly pragmatic, and some well-known algorithms are intentionally avoided in order to avoid retracing the same steps," says the creator.
