Haagen-Dazs Ice-cream. "Never on a Sundae", rendered using POV, 640x480 (reduced to 320x200). (Courtesy of Robert A. Mickelsen)
Simulated steel mill. The image was created using a modified version of the hemicube radiosity algorithm, computed on a VAX 8700 and displayed on a Hewlett Packard Renaissance Display. The environment consists of approximately 55,000 elements.

This image is a rendering of a
radiosity solution computed by the Lightscape Visualization System developed by Lightscape Graphics Software Ltd. The 32,000 polygon radiosity solution was imported via the Lightscape .LSA file import converter and rendered using NuGraf.

Dani's Room. This image was rendered by Dani Lischinski, Filippo Tampieri, and Donald P. Greenberg for the 1992 paper Discontinuity Meshing for Accurate Radiosity. The image depicts a scene that represents a pathological case for traditional radiosity images, many small shadow casting details. Notice, in particular, the shadows cast by the windows, and the slats in the chair.
Boiler room rendered with progressive-refinement radiosity algorithm. using ray tracing to compute form factors.

Nave of Chartres cathedral rendered with progressive-refinement radiosity algorithm, using ray tracing to compute form factors. Two bays, containing 9916 polygons, were processed and copied thre more times. Sixty iterations took 59 minutes on HP 9000 Model 835 TurboSRX.
