Participating Media.
Another variation on the basic diffuse radiosity solution adds the
contribution of light passing through a participating medium, such as
smoke, fog, or water vapor in the air. In this algorithm, light energy is
sent through a three-dimensional volume representing a participating
medium, which both attenuates the light energy and, potentially, adds
to the intensity solution through illumination of the participating
medium.
