I put tinfoil under the bottom of the top piece of my daughter's pumpkin to keep the top piece from frying in the flame, and it had the double benefit of increasing the brightness of the pumpkin. Reflection plus subsurface scattering and a bit of flare as well. 🕯️🎃☀️ #InverseTinfoilHatPumpkinLantern

We're releasing our Neural Radiance Caching benchmark soon. Here's what you need to know 🧵
For clarity - all shading you see in the video is inferred through our high quality Neural Radiance Cache at the first intersection point (primary rays).
