What simplifications are made for Radiosity? Derive the Radiosity Equation!
Simplification 1: Assume only diffuse surfaces.
Instead of BRDF
, use reflectance
.
Instead of radiances
, use radiosity
.
Resulting Radiosity Equation:


Simplification 2: Spatial Discretization
Assume scene consisting of patches
with constant radiosity

Plug the Radiosity Equation into this:


We know that
is constant over
(with value
), thus we can pull it out of the integral:



with the Form Factors
