Radiosity
Radiosity is a global illumination algorithm used in 3D computer graphics rendering. Radiosity is an application of the finite element method to solving the rendering equation for scenes with surfaces that reflect light diffusely. Unlike rendering methods that use Monte Carlo algorithms, which handle all types of light paths, typical radiosity methods only account for paths which leave a light source and are reflected diffusely some number of times before hitting the eye; such paths are represented by the code "LD*E". Radiosity is a global illumination algorithm in the sense that the illumination arriving at the eye comes not just from the light sources, but all the scene surfaces interacting with each other as well. Radiosity calculations are viewpoint independent which increases the computations involved, but makes them useful for all viewpoints. Radiosity methods were first developed in about 1950 in the engineering field of heat transfer. They were later refined specifically for application to the problem of rendering computer graphics in 1984 by researchers at Cornell University. Notable commercial radiosity engines are Enlighten by Geomerics, used for games including Battlefield 3 and Need for Speed: The Run, 3D Studio Max, form•Z, LightWave 3D and the Electric Image Animation System.
