Radiosity

Radiosity is a rendering technique that models diffuse inter-reflection, color bleeding, and soft shadows by accounting for indirect illumination. It is a global illumination method that assigns brightness to every surface, resulting in view-independent lighting.

  37. Advantages of Radiosity • Global illumination method: modeling diffuse inter-reflection • Color bleeding: a red wall next to a white one casts a reddish glow on the white wall • Soft shadows: an area light source casts a soft shadow from a polygon • No ambient hack • View independent: assigns a brightness to every surface

  38. Disadvantages of Radiosity • Radiation is uniform in all directions • Radiosity is piecewise constant • No surface is transparent or translucent • Must determine how to subdivide shapes into small enough patches
