The following 2D images were rendered using the radiosity rendering technique. An iterative process of rendering and form factor refining was used to approach a sub-division of form factors that maximizes the smoothness of color transitions between form factors. The process was stopped after seven iterations in each case. Note that you need to have 24-bit color to appreciate the smooth color transitions.
