-Our weapon of choice for achieving the desired result is, as the title of the article ever so subtly suggests, radiosity ([[WikiPedia:Radiosity]]). Using radiosity no manual labour will be required as the computer will calculate the ambient intensities for us. In the end, this should slightly alleviate the texturing process and make for promising results.

 # Load your UV-mapped object into Blender and put it on layer 1. Make sure it is UV-mapped! Also get rid of any lamps lingering in the scene.
 ## Select your model and in edit mode (press {{kbd|TAB}} do switch between edit and object modes) remove all duplicate vertices. You do this by selecting all vertices ({{kbd|A}}) and pressing {{kbd|W}}->'''Remove Doubles'''.
-## Add an icosphere with its center roughly in the middle of your model ({{kbd|SPACE}}->'''Add'''->'''Mesh'''->'''Icosphere'''). This will be our ambient light source. Higher subdivision yeilds better results (you need a higher value for a mesh with many polygons, play around!) but longer calculation times, 4 should be sufficient.

 ## Scale up ({{kbd|S}}) the icosphere to encompass your entire model.
 ## In edit mode select all the faces ({{kbd|A}}) and flip the normals ({{kbd|W}},{{kbd|9}}). In edit mode, enable normal drawing (done in the editing context, {{kbd|F9}}) and make sure they're really pointing inward the sphere. (Note that you ''must'' be in edit mode to see or enable the drawing of normals.)

 '''Problem:''' After calculating the radiosity and clicking '''Add new meshes''' the resulting mesh is split into several parts.<BR/>
-'''Solution:''' I don't know why this happends but fixing it is easy. Select all of the parts and join them ({{kbd|Alt}}+{{kbd|J}}) then remove doubles in edit mode ({{kbd|W}},{{kbd|5}}). Someone on cgtalk suggested it might be caused by bad normals but I haven't been able to verify or reject this theory.
