Well, you could leap right in at the deep end, and check in the manual for
"radiosity", but I'd recommend, initially, an area light (for soft-shadows) and
a shadowless fill-light placed at the same position as the camera to avoid
unnatural dark shadows (the ambient value of a texture can do this to, but a
shadowless fill-light is easier to control IMHO).

For a radiosity scene demo, check out the "scenes" folder in the directory you
installed pov to and look for a sub-folder called "radiosity". Try the file
"radiosity.pov", and try enabling the high quality settings.
