  Well, it has poor quality rad settings for now. Recursion limit is 1,
so the light bounces mainly from the sky. I will try 2 for the final
render, if I can't wait that long...

  I'm planning to save rad data with a much brighter light, so it will
improve the shadowed parts. If this doesn't work I must finally start
using MegaPOV...

  Well, the camera is the same as the original scene... and I like it.
The main subject, even if the name doesn't suggest it, it's the "patio".

  Thanks!
