To calculate the total heat-transfer I need the parts for conduction,
convection and radiation. The radiation heat from one area to a second
results in the product of the average view factor and the area. With the
view factor only the areas, which are seen by an object, were considered; so
objects(areas) in the shadow of one view point were neglected.

My idea is now to change the view-point to every (almost every) point of the
scene and calculate it with an area_light. The intensity of the calculated
area_light at every considered pixel should now respond to the "view
factors". Maybe, it is possibel to write the intensity for the areas to a
file? (How?)
