Spherical harmonic lighting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spherical harmonic lighting is a real-time rendering technique that produces highly realistic shading and shadowing. It involves a lengthy pre-process step, but once completed the resulting data can be used for semi-dynamic lighting. That is, due to the nature of the algorithm, the intensity of light sources can be changed and even the positions to a certain degree, all in real-time.
