Does anyone have any information on programs that 
use the radiosity approach to rendering. I'm interested
in both commercial and public domain code although I'm 
pretty certain that the latter doesn't exist. I'd also 
like to know if there are any fundamental limitations to
radiosity. I've noticed that the samples of radiosity
rendered scenes on the Siggraph demo reels are always
inside rooms. I presume that solving the "global illumination
equation" requires that the space be bounded but are there
other fundamental limitations. Thanks in advance for any
info and if I turn up anything interesting I'll post the
info (i.e. not re-gurgitate) back to the group.
