With rendering, we have a noun "renderer" which is easy to decline (for
all intents and purposes :-) and a verb "render" that's easy to conjugate:
"What rendering method are you using?" "How fast can you render this scene?"
With ray tracing, it is similar "I wrote a ray tracer". "When we trace
a scene, foo happens."
With radiosity, uh...
"I wrote a radiositizer." "When I radiate this scene." "My radiator code
is broken." ("You should drive a VW bug, then." :-)
So, what's a good everyday verb to use for radiosity? "radiosity solver"
is a tad long for informal use.
I use "radiate", personally. "Let's radiate this scene and see what
it looks like." has such a nice ring to it...

I usually try to avoid creating a verb from the word radiosity, instead I say, "I ran radiosity on this...", which is stil awkward. Someone from Apple uses the work "cook" - "let's cook this scene", "how long did it take to cook that", etc. But you lose the critical "rad" element from the word...

As for the noun, hmmm, how about: radiosopher (radio philosopher?) radifier (like, totally rad) radster (raster + dragster) -- Richard Minner || {uunet,sun,well}!island!rtm (916) 736-1323 || || Island Graphics Corporation Sacramento, CA ||

"Let's radiate this scene and see what >> it looks like." has such a nice ring to it... I use radiate as well. Similarly - radiated. 'This was radiated using...' Although it's getting a little close to 'irradiated'. 'This scene was irradiated ...' Hmmm, sound dangerous. > >I usually try to avoid creating a verb from the word radiosity, instead >I say, "I ran radiosity on this...", which is stil awkward. > >Someone from Apple uses the work "cook" - "let's cook this scene", >"how long did it take to cook that", etc. But you lose the critical >"rad" element from the word... > Cook!
