Line 16:
Reflections on non-planar (curved) surfaces are more challenging for real time rendering. Main approaches that are used include:
*[[Environment mapping]] (e.g. [[cube mapping]]): a technique that has been widely used e.g. in video games, offering reflection approximation that's mostly sufficient to the eye, but lacking self-reflections and requiring
*Screen space reflections (SSR): a more expensive technique that traces reflection rays in screen space (as opposed to world space in e.g. ray tracing). This is done for each rendered pixel of the reflected surface, using the surface normal and scene depth. The disadvantage is that objects not captured in the rendered frame cannot appear in the reflections, which results in unresolved intersections and incomplete reflection image subsequently causing artefacts on the edge of the reflection. SSR was originally introduced as Real Time Local Reflections
