Abstract
An exemplary object modeling system determines a set of directional occlusion values associated with a surface point on a surface of a virtual object. The directional occlusion values are representative of an exposure of the surface point to ambient light from each direction of a set of directions defined by a radiosity basis. The object modeling system also stores the set of directional occlusion values as part of texture data defining the surface point and provides the texture data that includes the set of stored directional occlusion values associated with the surface point. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
