Hi,
is it possible to calculate the view factor for all objects? I want to
calculate the "radiation-heat-transfer" from one object to another.
Thanks, Fabian

Assuming I've understood what you're asking, I would repost to advanced users,
but I would assume that this will be very hard to calculate for all but the
simplest objects.

You might be able to get some interesting info by rendering the image w/ and w/o
radiosity and doing some kind of difference-comparison between the two images.
