Light transport models

Light transport models describe how light interacts with surfaces and materials in a scene—think of it as a way to simulate how light bounces, absorbs, or scatters to create realistic images. These models consider factors like reflection, refraction, and shadowing to produce accurate lighting effects. They are essential in computer graphics, virtual reality, and visual effects, enabling realistic rendering of environments, objects, and materials by mathematically representing how light moves and behaves within a scene.
