The radiosity settings where some what random in nature, something to give a

Warning: Scene contained deprecated 'assumed_gamma'. Output gamma has been
adjusted to match legacy 'assumed_gamma' due to language version being set to
3.61 or lower. However, future versions of POV-Ray will not support backward
compatibility with 'assumed_gamma'. It is strongly recommended you update your
scene file by removing 'assumed_gamma' and add suitable 'Display_Gamma' and
'File_Gamma' options to your INI file or command-line instead. See the
documentation for details.
