If you're referring to "irradiance" in VirtuaLight, then you should check
out the POV feature called "radiosity."  They're basically the same feature,
with the same underlying algorithm.  Interestingly enough, VirtuaLight's
"irradiance" feature exhibits the same corner-splotchiness as POV's
radiosity, which leads me to believe that the underlying algorithms
(specifically the parts that that re-use sample data) are VERY similar.
