ETH and Disney Research's Neural Render Proxies Enable Interactive, Differentiable Relighting

ssh4net · x · 2026-11-14

A paper from ETH Zurich, DisneyResearch|Studios and others introduces Neural Render Proxies (NRP) for interactive and differentiable relighting of static scenes with fixed camera and materials. In CG production, lighting tweaks normally require re-rendering full scenes with slow offline renderers, costing minutes to hours per frame. NRP's key insight is decoupling traditional rendering into path sampling and emission computation, letting artists adjust lighting at interactive rates.
