This document discusses techniques for efficiently and accurately computing global illumination effects like indirect lighting and shadows using both Monte Carlo and analytic methods. It compares Monte Carlo path tracing to analytic approaches using spherical harmonics and visibility gradients. It also references several papers on topics like the visibility complex, guided visibility sampling, irradiance caching, and closed-form irradiance calculations that are relevant to global illumination rendering.
