Screenshot from the demo
Here is a tech demo of our Cuda smoke visualizer software. The software demonstrates real-time interaction and visualization with a smoke data set. It is possible to adjust several parameters such as density and lighting position. To download press HERE.

Photon mapping
Our first attempt to use photonmapping in our Cuda raytracer, 300 samples pr pixel, 1200x800, final image rendering time 65 secs.
Here is the famous sponza scene in a 400 pixel pr sample rendering, without and with photonmapping. At this moment this takes a few minutes
to render, but we hope to improve on the rendering time when we learn a little more about CUDA.

Nice real-time smoke visualization, rendered by our CUDA tracer including a clear sky model. The smoke dataset was delivered by Michael Bang and Brian Bunch Christensen from the Department of Computer Science, University of Aarhus.
Short video preview of our technique.
