II. What is radiosity rendering?
Computer rendering vs. hand rendering
- + more accurate
- + original not vulnerable
- + undo trail
Digital vs. physical models
- + More accurate for artificial lighting
- + Modeling more precise
- + Different perspective views, walk-throughs easy to generate (orbit model)
- - Modeling time/$ resource intensive
- - Appearance too artificial
- - Time investment in modeling can reduce flexibility
Radiosity vs. other computer rendering techniques
- - takes more time, more power
- - quicker simple renders can be edited in Photoshop
- + multiple views from one process vs. multiple processes
- + soft shadows, transparency & textures
