Normally, when rendering a series of frames, 3ds Max calculates radiosity only
for the first frame. If, in an animation, it might be necessary to recalculate the
advanced lighting in subsequent frames, turn this option on. For example, a
brightly painted door might open and affect the coloring of a nearby white
wall, in which case the advanced lighting should be recalculated.
