Editing Diffuse reflection (section)

==Interreflection==
''Diffuse interreflection'' is a process whereby [[light]] reflected from an object strikes other objects in the surrounding area, illuminating them. Diffuse interreflection specifically describes light reflected from objects which are not shiny or [[specular]]. In real life terms what this means is that light is reflected off non-shiny surfaces such as the ground, walls, or fabric, to reach areas not directly in view of a light source.  If the diffuse surface is [[color]]ed, the reflected light is also colored, resulting in similar coloration of surrounding objects.

In [[3D computer graphics]], diffuse interreflection is an important component of [[global illumination]]. There are a number of ways to model diffuse interreflection when rendering a scene. [[Radiosity (3D computer graphics)|Radiosity]] and [[photon mapping]] are two commonly used methods.
