[comp.graphics] Radiosity: The hemi-cylinder???

iscrowder@brb.isnet.inmos.co.uk (12/31/90)

Hi NetLand,

  I had an idea the other day and wondered if it was common knowledge or if it
had been tried before?
 "I already know of the hemi-cube and hemi-sphere approach to deriving the
delta form factors (and ultimatly the patch form factor) within the radiosity
algorithm, but has anyone tried the hemi-cylinder, (ie. a cylinder approx.
using strips to form the sides then top and bottom of the cylider being a
multi-sided shape, eg. an octagon etc.) ???"

  Any replies either to me by E-mail or to the net.
