MCPT solves the Rendering Equation using Monte Carlo Integration. The space over which is integrated is the space of all photon paths. Relevant paths are only those which carry energy: Starting from the eye and ending in an emissive surface:


The radiance at the end of this path is

(for every photon bounce, there is one term )
