Excellent explanations from Michael and nice argument from Dan Partelly which was also quite insightful. Although the presentation for the lighting model was slightly alien to me it was still good reading. More of this tbh. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of HoundDawg Sent: 29 November 2004 22:35 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] re: false claim of real-time radiosity support in Source Engine > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Hobson [snip] > "Radiosity" is a particular methodology for modelling diffuse > (scattered) > illumination in a scene.

I find it really cool that there are some really knowledgeable people on this list and although it's interesting reading, this level of technical discussion is starting to give me a headache... anyone else? Thank you for taking the time to provide some detailed explanations though. It'll make some good reading when I find the need to understand all of this in the future. =) - HoundDawg _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders *********************************************** This e-mail and its attachments are confidential and are intended for the above named recipient only.
