View Factors Analysis

This example demonstrates Raycore's analysis capabilities for radiosity and illumination calculations.

Scene Setup

View Factors

View factors quantify how much each surface "sees" every other surface - essential for radiosity calculations.

Higher values (warm colors) indicate faces that see more of the surrounding geometry.

Illumination

Calculate how much each face is exposed to rays from a specific viewing direction.

Faces directly visible from the viewing direction show higher illumination (yellow).

Centroid Calculation

Find the average position of visible surface points from a given direction.

The red sphere marks the centroid - useful for camera placement and focus calculations.
