It currently works with the diffuse properties of the surface finish. That
makes radiosity applicable only to object textures, and to get media to
interact would need some new way of doing things since I believe it only
deals with surfaces by making intersections with the rays. I guess it would
need to be something that makes it possible to use solid, filled objects. Or
at least a kind of sampled interior which has added to it a ambient and
diffuse property.
