Radiosity
This is the process of using reflecting light in the scene.
Uses
Lighting the inside of a house using an outside lightsource.
Specifics
Many small things to consider here.
Here are some good default settings you can use that are fairly fast and yet not horrible looking.
pretrace_end 4/image_width
count 50
error_bound 0.8
recursion_limit 1
For a more realistic appearance use the following.
pretrace_end 2/image_width
count image_width/2
error_bound 128/image_width
recursion_limit 1
Shortcuts
Checks and balances within the radiosity system make it unique!
Notes
- Radiosity is slow and requires lots of calculations. Don't turn on without time to waste.
- Radiosity usage will vary from scene to scene and taste of the artist using it.
- Radiosity is haaaaaaard...
