Illustration of quality versus performances for (b) our view dependent selection and (c) our light space adaptive precision. The numbers indicate the speed up of the SSM passes. These two optimizations are combined in (d) using the settings of the first pictures of (b) and (c), yielding a rate of 71 fps.
