    Abstract: An image rendering method for rendering a pixel at a viewpoint including: for a first element of a virtual scene, having a predetermined surface at a position within that scene, providing the position and a direction based on the viewpoint to a machine learning system previously trained to predict a factor that, when combined with a distribution function that characterises an interaction of light with the predetermined surface, generates a pixel value corresponding to the first element of the virtual scene as illuminated at the position, combining the predicted factor from the machine learning system with the distribution function to generate the pixel value corresponding to the illuminated first element of the virtual scene at the position, and incorporating the pixel value into a rendered image for display.

    Abstract: An image rendering method for rendering a pixel of a virtual scene at a viewpoint includes: downloading a machine learning system corresponding to a current or anticipated state an application determining the virtual scene to be rendered from among a plurality of machine learning systems corresponding to a plurality of states of the application; providing a position and a direction based on the viewpoint to the machine learning system previously trained to predict a factor; combining the predicted factor from the machine learning system with a distribution function that characterises an interaction of light with a predetermined surface to generate the pixel value corresponding to an illuminated first element of the virtual scene at the position; and incorporating the pixel value into a rendered image for display.

    Abstract: An image rendering method for an entertainment device for rendering a pixel at a viewpoint includes: for a first element of a virtual scene, having a predetermined surface at a position within that scene, obtaining a machine learning system previously trained to predict a factor that, when combined with a distribution function that characterises an interaction of light with the predetermined surface, generates a pixel value corresponding to the first element of the virtual scene as illuminated at the position; providing the position and a direction based on the viewpoint to the machine learning system; combining the predicted factor from the machine learning system with the distribution function to generate the pixel value corresponding to the illuminated first element of the virtual scene at the position; and incorporating the pixel value into a rendered image for display; where the obtaining step comprises: identifying a current or anticipated state of an application determining the virtual scene to be rendered; requesting a download of a machine learning system corresponding to the current or anticipated state, from among a plurality of machine learning systems corresponding to a plurality of states of the application, accessible via a remote server; and downloading the requested machine learning system.
