Abstract summary

Rendering fog and other participating media repeatedly for several viewers can duplicate expensive lighting work. This approach caches radiance in a hierarchical, world-space grid of spherical-harmonic probes, allowing both temporal reuse and sharing between viewpoints. The method is designed to improve the cost and quality of multi-view cloud rendering.
