  Plugin no, patch perhaps, but it would be quite limited as it would have
to be limited to meshes and bicubic patches (no other primitives could get
light from other surfaces nor affect the lighting) and it would be a
rather laborious task.

  There are many free simple scanline renderers out there which
demonstrate radiosity. Try google.
