Stochastic Progressive Photon Mapping (sppm)

This plugin implements stochastic progressive photon mapping by Hachisuka et al. [13]. This algorithm is an extension of progressive photon mapping (ppm) that improves convergence when rendering scenes involving depth-of-field, motion blur, and glossy reflections.
Note that the implementation of sppm in Mitsuba ignores the sampler configuration—hence, the usual steps of choosing a sample generator and a desired number of samples per pixel are not necessary.
As with ppm, once started, the rendering process continues indefinitely until it is manually stopped.

Remarks:
• Due to the data dependencies of this algorithm, the parallelization is limited to to the local machine (i.e. cluster-wide renderings are not implemented)
• This integrator does not handle participating media
• This integrator does not currently work with subsurface scattering models.

Parameter

  • Max. path depth : integer
    • Specifies the longest path depth in the generated output image (where -1 corresponds to ∞). A value of 1 will only render directly visible light sources. 2 will lead to singlebounce (direct-only) illumination, and so on. (Default: -1 -> 24 @ blender)

  • Russian roulette starting depth : integer
    • Specifies the minimum path depth, after which the implementation will start to use the “russian roulette” path termination criterion. (Default: 5 -> 10 @ blender)

  • Work unit granularity : integer
    • Granularity of photon tracing work units for the purpose of parallelization (in # of shot particles) (Default: 0, i.e. decide automatically)

  • Photon Count : integer
    • Number of photons to be shot per iteration (Default: 250000)

  • Initial Radius : float
    • Initial radius of gather points inworld space units. (Default: 0, i.e. decide automatically)

  • Radius Alpha : float
    • Radius reduction parameter alpha fromthe paper (Default: 0.7)

  • maxPasses : integer (blender にはない?)
    • Maximum number of passes to render (where -1 corresponds to rendering until stopped manually). (Default: -1)
