Hi all,

I did some experiments using radiosity and no regular light sources to 
see what can be done with pure ambient light. I then defined a light 
source as a set of 10 concentric discs with fading and quite high 
ambient value and try to place them in the scene like any regular light.

The result is attached with this message. The first and second row are 
composed of one blue "light source" at different position and the last 
row is composed of one white "light source" at different positions + a 
blue sky dome.

I imagine this is nothing new but I like the atmosphere it gives.



Nicolas

Nice effects IMHO, you probably find usefull HDRI patch to make simmilar 
scenes :)

Thanks for sharing that with us. I made similar tries this week-end, 
with less fortune though. I guess I messed up a bit with all the 
parameters because I get strange patches of shadow (which gives a nice 
artistic sight) and I see with your experiment that soft light is also 
possible. Would you share the source ?

Of course.
I posted the code of the new attached picture to p.t.s.f. (it's a WIP).
The radiosity parameters are quite high to try to avoid the strange 
patches of shadow (the image took 1h20 to render on a PII-995Mhz).
Have fun.
