<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#17365D">Depending on the accuracy you are looking for, eQuest can roughly simulate interior reflectance, but it is not the most accurate, i.e. it limits the amount of
bounces it calculates. Therefore, I recommend lighting specific software such as Radiance. It is free but difficult to use. AGi32, and other programs like it, apply a front end to Radiance which makes it easier to learn. It is also more accurate than eQuest.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
