When using radiosity, the part of the scene that are not rendered are not 
treated the same as those that are actualy rendered.
You start by doing a render at a lower resolution and adding "save_file" in the 
radiosity block. Turn off antialiasing. You can also remove several transparent 
objects, like window panes. This will save the radiosity data to a file.
Those radiosity data are resolution independent.

You then do a second, full size or partial, render, with "load_file", 
pretrace_start 1 pretrace_end 1 and "always_sample off". Leave everything lese 
in the radiosity block the same.

There will still be some banding, but much less.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than
standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has
set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the
banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.
