Abstract: Path tracing, used to render the 3D effects in most feature files and the final frames in 3D animated feature films, is time and energy-consuming. This talk will explain the path tracing algorithm and investigate two methods DreamWorks Animation uses to reduce the cost of rendering: a large-scale SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) architecture and a low-contention adaptive sampling framework.
