Andrew Lauritzen	Title : Deferred Lighting Abstract: Real-time lighting of complex environments is computationally expensive, even for just direct lighting. Typical forward rendering approaches suffer from a geometric increase in complexity as geometric or lighting complexity increases. Deferred lighting provides a way to reorganize the rendering loop that greatly simplifies the complexity of computing lighting for complex scenes.
