Deferred Irradiance Volumes
September 2012 | By Florian Boesch
Collection:

An implementation of global illumination using deferred application of irradiance volumes.
LIghtprobes are taken of the environment and convolved using spherical harmonics. The illumination is applied to a lightmap which is in turn used for a second and third bounce. Then deferred shading is used to apply the calculated irradiance to the scene.
