An Updated Cross4ndexed Guide to the Ray*tracing Literature L Richard Speer, Animation Research~ (speer@cs. colorado.edu) 1, Introduction Last summer we published the first cross-indexed guide to the ray-tracing literature (reference St91 in the last section of this paper). We noted at the time that research on ray-tracing for image synthesis had accelerat~l in recent years: areas under active study now included ray-tracing in data visualization, raytracing for radiosity, and parallel ray-tracing, in addition to more fan~iliar ones like fast sutxlivision traversal, stochastic sampling and efficient intersection culling. That first edition contained more than 400 references and spanned the period from 1968 to February, 1991. For this odition, our database has [x~en ulxlated to include papers published through November of last year. New entries include material from the 1991 SIGGRAPH, Eurographics, Graphics Interface (Canada) and Computer Graphics International conferences; IEEE's second visualization conference; the Eurograptfics Society's special rendering workshop; mad a number of papers from English and foreign language journals. The total number of references is now more than 500. As in the first edition, all of these are cross-indexed by author and keywords. The contents of the rest of the paper are as follows. Section 2 contains a
