Lightscape Viewset (light-07)
The light-07 viewset was created from traces of the graphics
workload generated by the Lightscape Visualization System from
Discreet Logic. Lightscape combines proprietary radiosity algorithms
with a physically based lighting interface.
The most significant feature of Lightscape is its ability to
accurately simulate global illumination effects by precalculating
the diffuse energy distribution in an environment and storing
the lighting distribution as part of the 3D model. The resulting
lighting "mesh" can then be rapidly displayed.
There are four tests specified by the viewset that represent
the most common operations performed by the Lightscape Visualization
System:
