Equations governing the transfer of radiation in semitransparent stellar envelopes are set up and solved by employing a system of curvilinear 3D coordinates in which the radial coordinate is identified with equipotential surfaces. Such coordinates are particularly suitable to a treatment of the problems arising in close binary systems, which render the outcome more than any other amenable to observable tests. The mathematical formulation of the problem in terms of Clairaut coordinates is outlined. An application to the problem of distribution of surface brightness over the apparent disks of distorted components of close binary systems is presented. The same is done for the radiative flux of distorted stars as a function of the phase. Additional problems arising in this connection are outlined.
