Has anyone seen any work done on evaluating the diffuse and specular illumination produced by linear and/or area lights? I have checked all the standard sources and all information I find gets to the point where the integration is set up and then a little hand waving is performed accompanied by the magical words "numerically integrated". This works but is too slow for my purposes. Does anyone know of any work done in different directions (ie faster evaluation) ? -- Kevin Picott aka Socrates aka kpicott%alias@csri.toronto.edu Alias Research Inc.
