Hello,
<p>i've rendered an old scene with UVPOV 6.2, and it takes much longer
as with 6.0.
<br>The second thing was, .that the scene looked strange (see at the picture
'radiosity_uvpov.jpg' in the attachement).
<p>Rendering times for the scene:    0:47 min. UVPOV 6.0
<br>                                                
4:14 min. UVPOV 6.2
<br>Settings used:
<br>      ini_option "+QR"
<br>      ini_option "Preview_Start_Size=16"
<br>      ini_option "Preview_End_Size=8"
<br>         radiosity {
<br>          
brightness      
2.5
<br>           
count           
150
<br>           
max_sample 1
<br>           
distance_maximum 0.0
<br>           
error_bound      0.4
<br>           
gray_threshold   0.1
<br>           
low_error_factor 0.4
<br>           
minimum_reuse    0.01
<br>           
nearest_count    10
<br>           
recursion_limit  1
<br>        }
<br>I've also rendered the scene with various values for count (100 up
650), error_bound (0.1 to 1.0) and low_error_factor (0.1 to 1.0).
<br>As light i've used the standard light_source and also the spectrum-light
(only one light in scene).
<p>The second bug:
<br>After restart of the rendering, the right wall becomes holes. I have
tried a heigher value for max_intersections (like 128), but with no effect
(see picture 'radiosity_uvpov2.jpg'). After restarting povray the scene
renders normally (but only the first time...).
<p>  Bye
