It works fine with radiosity, because it gets it's ambient brightness from
the #default statement so I can just switch on/off ambient lighting without
modifying the material itself :) However it does require a light source in
the scene, because it uses specular highlights to get the metallic and
glitter efffects.

Besides which it all works based on the pigment you give it, so a lot of
tuning (particularly brightness for gamma, radiosity, HDR) can be done using
the colour and light sources in the scene it's being used in.

But now you mention it I've been meaning to try a scene using HDR, and I
think I'll use this texture in my first test :)
