Strictly speaking, it's photon mapping with a Java applet. It's nearly as powerful (and in some cases even more so) as a native application.
Right . As the author mentions , it's 75 lines of code (code included right on that web page) for the photon mapping part . When I think of Photon mapping I remember back to the 'WinOsi' raytracer page (very old now) http://www.winosi.onlinehome.de/ They still have a very cool realtime demo , but in the form of a 52KB downloadable executable . Ton's of fun and uses all 4 cores , giving amazing frame rates , even with high AA etc . http://www.winosi.onlinehome.de/Ravi.htm (no Gi however) The Winosi raytracer with photon mapping is still available for free download (140KB) . http://www.winosi.onlinehome.de/Downloads_WinOSi.htm garry
