Progressive Refinement & Subdivision

Radiosity requires that surfaces be broken down into substructures... This is nessessary to render boundary areas (esp. shadow lines) This process breaks up patches with intensity gradients   In the first draft of the image, the patches are still visible. A smooth shading method is nessesary to remove the edges
