What is global illumination anyway?
`Global Illumination' is the term used to describe the inter-reflection effets taking place between a collection of radiating objects. It is often contrasted to 'local illumination', that is the computation of the reflected radiance on a surface due to a single light source.Who should join?
The mailing list is intended mainly for the discussion of research issues in global illumination. Most members are either students or work in academic institutions, but there are no access restrictions. Be warned however that many threads deal with academic issues such as focused conferences or workshops.How can I subscribe?
