Hmm, my point is that path tracing in general is more accurate for the lighting
behaviour.  The scene as it was supposed to look.  So, a render by it should
give you some good guidance for tweakings in the radiosity code to try to match
those expected results...

That's a shame.  OTOH, from previous posts by fidos, it seemed like he basically
just dropped the radiosity and photon settings from a scene and replaced the
light_sources by high ambient objects:  the light generated is not merely
diffuse, but also specular, caustics etc.  No need for messing with specular
settings in textures or anything.  As he used to say, path tracing is very
different from ray tracing...
