I'm not calling names...I'm looking for someone who has a Brickshelf
account under the username "Stinky". Can the person who lays claim to that
name please contact me? I have a few questions to ask you about the
radiosity stuff you've done here:

Specifically these renders:

Or to the raytracing experts out there...what is it about those particular
radiosity settings that make the results so realistic? What is needed to
achieve this? I'm familiar with Pov-ray and familiar with the radiosity
includes that Orion and others posted a while back, but my attempts somehow
never reached that level of realism. Now I'm looking into creating some
animations using PoV-Ray and need the best rad settings I can get my hands
on. I'm willing to write it, but I really have no clue what I should be
editing. Can someone help me out here?

Thanks so much,

Hejo, Yes, it was I. I don't read the groups here that often, sorry. We got in contact and I sent one of my povray files that contain the mentioned settings. I must however give all credits to Jeroen de Haan. All I know I learned from him and his (...) (21 years ago, 13-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.general)
