Radiosity (computer graphics) Screenshot of scene rendered with RRV [1] (simple implementation of radiosity renderer based on OpenGL) 79th iteration. Radiosity methods were first developed in about 1950 in the engineering field of heat transfer. They were later refined specifically for application to the problem of rendering computer graphics in 1984 by researchers at Cornell University.[2] Notable commercial radiosity engines are Enlighten by Geomerics, used for games including Battlefield 3 and Need for Speed: The Run, 3D Studio Max, form•Z, LightWave 3D and the Electric Image Animation System.
