The only thing is, my results with Radiosity enabled (no light sources
but the blueish white sky_sphere, Jeroen's color settings, LGEO enabled)

Ok, the last  hours I was experimenting a little bit further and I came
to a quite good result with Jeroen's ldraw_radiosity includes:

  - Color setting 1 (Jeroen) is too dark when there are no
    additional lights
  - Color setting 2 (Todd) is far too dark

Switching "assumed_gamma 1" in "global_settings" makes things more
interesting:

  - Jeroen's colors are too bright (red is like orange, black
    is like grey)
  - Todd's colors are perfect, but they reflect too much (which makes
    bricks seem too bright, too)

I continued with Todd's perfect colors (from lugnet), installed the
newest version of ldraw_radiosity and found the VARIFLEX option (and its
new reduced reflection settings) the solution to go for - except they
only apply to Jeroen's (too bright) colors. Adjusting the lg_color_*.inc
files gives me nice correct colors without too much reflection and I'm
quite happy now.

As soon as I can spare some time during the next few days, I'll post an
example image and my modified lugnet color include file if anyone is
interested.

Nico.

If you're a fan of sky_sphere illumination, you could have just cranked the value a bit. It'll be near the bottom of ldraw_radiosity.inc, under these lines: #if ( LDRAW_RAD_LEVEL > 0) #if ( LDRAW_SKYSPHERE = 1 ) There will be a gradient value for (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jul-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi! I'm experimenting with LDraw and povray for some weeks now and I'm quite impressed of the results. I downloaded Jeroen's Radiosity include files from (URL) (old version 2.3.1 because I like the more reflecting textures better) and I have to (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jul-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
