  Removing bright artifacts is good thing...

  I was thinking yesterday about your adaptive-count experiment, and was 
wondering how it will decide to shoot more rays.  Distance, of course! I 
figured then it would be nice to have also adaptive error_bound and 
nearest_count. Makes it sense to have all them adaptive at the same time? 
It's possible? (Indeed, excuse my total ignorance about radiosity 
implementation....)
