Test03 - GPU Path Tracing with CUDA - Image Based Lighting

This time I have added image-based lighting (IBL) to my Monte Carlo-based path tracer. This is running in real time on the GPU using CUDA, with OpenGL used to provide the progressive display updates.

The environment lighting is stored in a radiance map (light probe angular map) which is then queried to provide the necessary lighting information for the scene. The direction of the [unobstructed] outgoing ray (into the environment) is used to determine the colour/radiance for the current sample contribution.

+ Hardware and Software Used

Written in CUDA / C++ (Visual Studio) and running on Windows 10 Pro (64-bit).
GPU - nVidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti (EVGA FTW3)
CPU - Intel i7-6900K

+ HDRI Light Probes and Radiance Maps:
