| Description: | Digital special effects for movies like "The Lord of the Rings" require enormous computation power to generate. In a complex scene, each frame can take hours .. and a full movie can keep hundreds of PCs busy for months!! A previous project built a pipeline for a critical part of the rendering process: computing whether a ray intersects a triangle in the scene: all scene objects are generally reduced to a collection of triangles which can be very large for high resolution realistic work! This project will explore some optimizations to the ray-triangle pipeline: it will start with removal of some redundant modules which normalize and then re-normalize the floating point numbers used. |
