\section{Acknowledgments}

I am indebted to my advisor Steve Marschner for allowing me to devote
|
|
a significant amount of my research time to this project. His insightful and
|
|
encouraging suggestions have helped transform this program into much more than
|
|
I ever thought it would be.

The architecture of Mitsuba as well as some individual components are based on
|
|
implementations discussed in: \emph{Physically Based Rendering - From Theory
|
|
To Implementation} by Matt Pharr and Greg Humphreys.

|
Some of the GUI icons were taken from the Humanity icon set by Canonical Ltd.
|
|
The material test scene was created by Jonas Pilo, and the environment map
|
|
it uses is courtesy of Bernhard Vogl.

The included index of refraction data files for conductors are copied from
|
|
PBRT. They are originally from the Luxpop database (\url{www.luxpop.com})
|
|
and are based on data by Palik et al. \cite{Palik1998Handbook}
|
|
and measurements of atomic scattering factors made by the Center For
|
|
X-Ray Optics (CXRO) at Berkeley and the Lawrence Livermore National
|
|
Laboratory (LLNL).
