Spherical Harmonic Lighting

An experimental project to explore global illumination techniques that use Spherical Harmonics.

Features

  • Radiance is calulcated per vertex. The transfer function takes into account the surface normal for direct diffuse lighting. It also takes into account indirect shadowing. This is achieved by performing a raytracing precalculation step.
  • Diffuse as well as Glossy BDRF support.
  • Interreflection, called Self-Transfer in the original paper but in this implementation different objects can affect each others transfer functions.
  • Raytracing is accelerated using a BVH.
  • Spherical Harmonic coefficients can be efficiently rotated using recurrence relations as described in a paper by Ivanic.
  • Lighting is performed on the GPU. The Spherical Harmonic coefficients are stored in a Texture Buffer Object.
  • The engine supports two different types of Light. The first is a simple directional light, the calculation of which is fully synthetic. The second is a probe light, which is based on a provided light probe image, such as those found at http://www.pauldebevec.com/Probes.

BVH

A debug rendering of the BVH (Bounding Volume Hierarchy) structure used to raytrace the monkey head mesh.

Building

The project should work out of the box with Visual Studio 2017 or above.

The program makes use of .dat files to store the transfer coefficients of each model. These files are not included in the git repository and will be reconstructed upon running the program for the first time. This process might take a little while to complete.

Dependencies
