However, achieving accurate rendering of time -resolved information remains a challenge, particularly in scenes involvin g complex geometries, diverse materials and participating media. Existing ToF rendering works have demonstrated notable results, yet they struggle w ith scenes involving scattering media and camera-warped settings. Other st eady-state volumetric rendering methods exhibit significant bias or varian ce when directly applied to ToF rendering tasks. To address these challeng es, we integrate transient diffusion theory into path construction and pro pose novel sampling methods for free-path distance and scattering directio n, via resampled importance sampling and offline tabulation. An elliptical sampling method is further adapted to provide controllable vertex connect ion satisfying any required photon traversal time. In contrast to the exis ting temporal uniform sampling strategy, our method is the first to consid er the contribution of transient radiance to importance-sample the full pa th, and thus enables improved temporal path construction under multiple sc attering settings. The proposed method can be integrated into both path tr acing and photon-based frameworks, delivering significant improvements in quality and efficiency with at least a 5x MSE reduction versus SOTA method s in equal rendering time.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access, Full Acc ess Supporter\n\nLanguage Format: English Language\n\nSession Chair: Seung yong Lee (POSTECH) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=papers_495&sess=sess131 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
