Abstract
Achieving lifelike atmospheric effects, such as fog, is essential in creating immersive environments and poses a formidable challenge in real-time rendering. Highly realistic rendering of complex lighting interacting with dynamic fog can be very resourceintensive, due to light bouncing through a complex participating media multiple times. We propose an approach that uses a multi-layered spherical harmonics probe grid to share computations temporarily. In addition, this world-space storage enables the sharing of radiance data between multiple viewers. In the context of cloud rendering this means faster rendering and a significant enhancement in overall rendering quality with efficient resource utilization.
