1: Real-Time Lighting via Light Linked List

Deferred lighting has been a popular technique to handle dynamic lighting in video games, but due to the fact that it relies on the depth buffer, it doesn’t work well with translucent geometry and particle effects, which typically don’t write depth values. This can be seen in Figure 1.1, where the center smoke effect and the translucent water bottles are not affected by the colorful lights in the scene.
