< graphics > A method for rendering a view of a three-dimensional scene that provides realistic lighting effects, such as interobject reflections and color bleeding . Radiosity methods are computationally intense, due to the use of linear systems of equations and the spatial complexity of large scenes.

[Is radiosity more accurate than ray tracing ? Does it take more computing power? How does compute time scale with scene complexity?]
