Detailed Description

Abstract integrator (i.e. a rendering technique)

In Nori, the different rendering techniques are collectively referred to as integrators, since they perform integration over a high-dimensional space. Each integrator represents a specific approach for solving the light transport equation---usually favored in certain scenarios, but at the same time affected by its own set of intrinsic limitations.

virtual Color3f Integrator::Li	(	const Scene *	scene,
		Sampler *	sampler,
		const Ray3f &	ray
	)		const [pure virtual]

Sample the incident radiance along a ray.

Parameters:

scene	A pointer to the underlying scene
sampler	A pointer to a sample generator
ray	The ray in question

Returns:

A (usually) unbiased estimate of the radiance in this direction
