Yes, I had several scenes in MegaPoV where there was a marked difference
between one bounce and two bounce radiosity, but this is the clearest
I've seen it.

If I can remember how to compile MegaPoV with MinGW I'll have a go
tweaking the radiosity source. I can think of two things to try:
randomize the local basis vector rotation and randomize the starting
point for the sampling sequence (or just continue where the last
sequence left off, perhaps).

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Bye for now,
