5 3ds Max updates the viewports by taking all the energy from the faces
and spreading it to the closest vertex.
See the section that follows, “Refinement Steps for Radiosity,” for a more
detailed description of the solution process.
Refinement Steps for Radiosity
The radiosity process involves three stages of increasing refinement. The first
two stages occur during the primary radiosity processing, and the third stage
can be used during the final rendering.
Within each of the first two stages, you can stop and start the processing at
any time. This can be useful for evaluating interim results or increasing the
level of accuracy you desire. For example, you can interrupt the Initial Quality
stage at 50% and jump ahead to the Refine stage if you wish. However, once
you enter the Refine stage, you cannot continue further iterations of Initial
Quality unless you restart the solution.
