  • Publication number: 20260212589
    Abstract: A real-time rendering method of a three-dimensional object comprising the following phases: performing the rendering of the substantially opaque elements by realizing at least one first image, performing a plurality of sequential steps, wherein the transmissive elements are rendered from the furthest to the closest to the virtual video/photo-camera according to a predetermined ordered list by realizing a respective plurality of second images, where in the first step transmissive elements furthest away from the virtual video/photo-camera are rendered using the at least one first image to determine the spectrum of the light directed towards the virtual video/photo-camera coming from the transmissive elements to be rendered, and where in each step i one or more transmissive elements are rendered using the second image obtained in the immediately preceding step to determine the spectrum of the light directed towards the virtual video/photo-camera coming from the transmissive elements to be rendered.
