Figure 13-18 shows the Run ➤ Project Java code testing work process with the self-illumination
mapping on all three primitives. The white areas have turned into light sources, with the colored areas still
showing the diffuse and specular mapping characteristics. There seems to be a bit of a problem with the
anti-aliasing algorithm portion of the selfIlluminationMap property code, as you can see on the perimeter
edges of the Sphere primitive.

areas alone
