Are there any plug-ins that produce the effect of true radiosity? In all the books on 3D Studio that I have, radiosity is only emulated and not mathematically produced as a function of light.

Dale, Because of the intense computing power needed to do true radiosity it is not reasonable to do it on a PC. Mark

You're _only_ option for radiosity, regardless of platform, is the product LightScape. This curently runs on the SGI but it does read 3DS files. Although time consuming, the images can be stunning. – Phil
