Radiosity with Blender

Solution retrieval

Blender offers us up to three choices :

In the following part of our example, we will replace the existing scene. Press the "Replace Meshes" button in order to leave the radiosity mode and get back into the classic mode. Now press the "free Radio Data" button. You will be amazed to find out that the scene has been replaced by a all brand-new mesh ! You can also find out that this mesh has a new material. In fact, this is this material that contains the radiosity solution, hidden under the guise of VertexPaint. The trouble, could you point out, is that you can't access anymore your old objects in order to give them new textures. Of course, this is still possible, and this is what we will see in the next step.

A new mesh !
