Something like applying the radiosity technique after >specularity has been applied? Yes, this has been done and there are many papers describing various versions of this technique. Here are a few: "A Two-Pass Solution to the Rendering Equation: A Synthesis of Ray Tracing and Radiosity Methods" by John R. Wallace and Donald P. Greenburg Siggraph '87 p.311-320 "A Ray Tracing Solution fo Diffuse Interreflection" by Greg J. Ward, Francis M. Rubinstein, and Robert D. Clear. Siggraph '88 p.85-92 "A General Two-Pass Method Integrating Specular and Diffuse Reflection" by Francois Silion and Claude Puech Siggraph '89 p.335-344 "Adaptive Radiosity Textures for Bidirectional Ray Tracing" by Paul S.
