I’ve been reading about this in recent magazines… it’s like a shortcut to get around doing Global Illumination. It seems so simple, i wonder if someone could write a script to do this?
Heres a link…
You can find a post on how to do something like this in Blender with tutorial and blendfile here by Little_Cube:

The yafray hemilight (‘SkyDome’ in blender’s yafray GI menu) also does ambient occlusion.
Oh, that’s interesting. Thanks.
