Monte Carlo ray tracing has become ubiquitous in most commercial renderers and in custom shaders used for visual effects and feature animation. But many advanced Monte Carlo algorithms are not widely used and are often misunderstood. In this course, attendees learn about the practical aspects of variance-reduction methods with a focus on all variants of importance sampling. The course also covers quasi-Monte Carlo methods at the industry level, as well as the practical aspects of bidirectional path tracing combined with multiple importance sampling and Metropolis Light Transport. Practical advice is provided throughout the course.
