Haven't seen anyone mention SIGGRAPH 2013 yet.

Ke-Sen Huang has several SIGGRAPH 2013 paper links up:

Also, early registration ends May 31st.

Im mostly interested in the paper: Gradient-Domain Metropolis Light Transport.
I hope it's good. But it's probably more about noise reduction than my initial thought about something similar to manifold exploration that I have been thinking about. (you should be able to do a numerical search based on path-distance to camera. A relaxed lens if you will. It should still be able to make it unbiased. I think i could be a very efficient for difficult caustics and a way to avoid getting stuck in hard to sample paths.)

Yes, me too...

I'm waiting for this paper... but have no more information about its content. It looks about noise reduction (Like previous Hoberock work).

Yee-haw! I have been waiting for this for quite a while. Thanks!

BTW, there is a patent by NVidia on this papers... so I think that we cannot implement it for commercial renderers ... and I don't know if it is permitted for free/open source/personal ones. Just for info

Anyone had a look at the Hardware BVH construction paper ? Any way to get a copy ?
