**1. Raytraced shadows
 ** You can do shadows without raytracing
2. Occlusion
 What do you mean by occlusion?
**3. Photon mapping
Is not a variant of ray tracing?

  1. Monte carlo style GI.
    Monte Carlo is used by raytracing
  2. IBL
    I don't know what it exactly does
  3. SSS
    This one I don't know what it is
  4. Caustics and volumetric caustics.
  5. Path tracing for volumetric effects like smoke, clouds etc
    **You can do this without raytracing with expection of correct refraction
    **

Stupidity also evolves!
