I wanted to use a panoramic image mapped to a sphere to light a scene using
just radiosity. I ended up using 6 Terragen images mapped to a cube as the
environment. I had to use a recursion of at least 3 for the radiosity to
light the scene as expected - otherwise things were almost black. Lastly, I
placed a light to correspond with the sun's position, so as to cast shadows
(hence the 'sort of' in the subject line - not totally rad lit)

Looks quite good I think.

Wow, will there be a bigger version for my wallpaper?

Well, I'm not planning on rendering one (starting the next project already
:-)), and as my code is a mess and uses many image files, I can't really
post the code... sorry. But thanks for the comments.. I'm glad you like it.

All the best,

Andy Cocker

RC2 has a bug that radiosity recursion level is off by -2. Will be
fixed in next beta IIRC what was said on the groups.

Thanks for the info Peter, I suspected something wasn't working as it
should, but as usual put the culprit down to user error ;-)

All the best,

  Me too. It has a very nice "daylight" feel...

IIRC it was RC1 and was fixed for RC2.

Looks like a label for POV-Spring mineral water:-)

Hope so - or the universe has just taken a left-turn into bizarro land (getting
a nice image with recursion level 1 and no lights)
