Path tracing looks amazing for voxel scenes! This devlog showcases my game engine's lighting system, which uses path-traced global illumination to simulate ambient occlusion and emissive materials. I discuss the fundamental rendering equation and how I chose a radiance function. Then, I talk about my unique approach to denoising using a GPU-side hashmap.
