Hi all:

  I must admit this is the first time I've tried this wonderful trick of 
saving radiosity with a "dummy" scene. It works pretty well. So well that 
it even gets ride of the radiosity artifacts on my poor settings! I'm the 
only who experienced this? 

  I have a WIP with many objects and tracing very slow with "real" 
radiosity, and producing very visible artifacts. Then I wrote a "dummy" 
version of the textures and rendered saving radiosity (the first image 
attached). As a first test, with the same faked textures, I re-rendered the 
scene, this time loading the file and setting always_sample off and 
pretraces to 1 (second image). As you can see, the artifacts magically 
disapeared.... 

  !?
