In this video we go over the historical overview of various techniques that govern the rendering process, such as rasterization, ray casting and ray tracing, before encapsulating it within the rendering equation and understanding the fundamental principles that are behind it, tying it in with the previous session on BRDF and Lighting. In the end we mention preprocessing and approximation as methods of reducing the rendering time while slightly influencing the quaility of the final image.
