This is exactly what I had in mind. In my mind tho', this is not fake, but
what radiosity should be.

If a surface is perfectly smooth it would be reflective so radiosity
shoulkdn't have any effect anyway. Why wouldn't isosurfaces and photons
work? I haven't studied them yet, but I'm very keen to(so little time and
so much to do)...
