Objects and Radiosity

The radiosity calculation is performed on all objects, whether or not they are currently selected.

Some objects in the scene can be excluded from the radiosity calculation, in order to save time and memory, in the following ways:

Using the Render Checkbox in the Browser

Objects or parts whose Render checkbox is unselected in the Browser, as well as their child objects and parts, will not be rendered. These objects or parts will be excluded from the radiosity calculation.

Calculating Radiosity for Selected Objects Only

After deselecting the objects you wish to exclude from the radiosity calculation, click the Start button in the Radiosity Window while holding down the Ctrl key (Win) / option key (Mac). The radiosity calculation will be performed on only the currently selected objects.
