This program works in three steps:
- Model a 3D scene in Blender. The scene is exported as a .obj file (vertices) and .mtl (material information).
- Process the scene to simulate diffuse lighting.
- Read the .obj and .mtl and build a kd-tree (import_file_mp.py).
- Calculate the formfactor for each combination of triangles in the scene (Main_multiprocessing_2.py).
- Calculate the emission of red, green and blue light for each triangle by approximating the solution of the set of linear equations using the Gauss-Seidel method (Main_multiprocessing_2.py).
- Visualise the scene using the VTK library (visualise_calculated_scene.py).
