Thanks Warp. I rarely go outside the POV-Ray forums to discuss these things,
so I didn't know. When you say, the algoritm used in POV-Ray isn't typical
radiosity, I assume it was modified. What happened to the "backwards monte
carlo" ?

I think this has to do with how POV-Ray handle objects. Most raytracers work
on triangles, POV-Ray does not only do this.
