We introduce a generic architecture that is sufficiently general to treat a wide variety of rendering strategies. The architecture is particularized according to common features of energy distribution techniques. The survey of energy distribution techniques and the principles used by various illumination algorithms are discussed in the context of the possible solutions in OO generic rendering architecture.
