Abstract

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for constructing a hierarchical acceleration data structure that supports ray tracing of motion blur. In use, scene description data associated with an image to be generated is received. Additionally, a hierarchical acceleration data structure for performing ray tracing on the scene description data is constructed, where the hierarchical acceleration data structure supports ray tracing of motion blur.
