radiosity

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
radiosity
A rendering method that simulates light reflecting off one surface and onto another. It is a more accurate method of rendering light and shadows than ray tracing. Radiosity produces the soft shadows from multiple reflections and light sources that exist in the real world. See reflection mapping and ray tracing.
(graphics)radiosity - A method for rendering a view of a three-dimensional scene that provides realistic lighting effects, such as interobject reflections and color bleeding. Radiosity methods are computationally intense, due to the use of linear systems of equations and the spatial complexity of large scenes.

With advanced radiosity rendering, sophisticated character tools, and a GUI based expression system, it''s also one of the easiest high-end 3D apps to get to grips with.
That is a pity because creating interior design renderings is considered to be very hard even though there have been many improvements made to the processes involved, and, a major factor is lighting which can either make or break your three dimensional scene, though new technologies such as global illumination and also radiosity have made the task of lighting considerably easier by simply using a computer to help in automating the lighting through simulation of ambient light.
