> Sampled raytracing is the most natural approach to indirect lighting

Its been a while (~15 years or so) since I looked very deeply into this, but at that time I thought that radiosity was notably superior to raytracing for indirect lighting, and everyone and their cousin seemed to be doing hybrid ray tracing/radiosity systems for realistic rendering.

ah, what do we use to determine form factors in radiosity? oh yeah ray tracing.
