Textures and radiosity
1994
Proceedings of the 21st annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques - SIGGRAPH '94
The former does not capture important lighting effects due to textures, while the latter is too expensive computationally to be practical. ...
This extension of the standard algorithm allows the use of textures to describe complex reflectance and emittance patterns over surfaces, increasing the realism and complexity of radiosity images. ...
Many thanks also to Don Mitchell, Michael Cohen, and Steven Gortler for stimulating discussions and David Laur for production help. ...
