Hello.

I have a question concerning the Photon Map patch. Is is possible to

looking for is calculating "radiosity" or something similar with the
Photon Map, e.g. get a nice blue ambient light in a room with a blue
roof...

Perhaps the Photon Map only works with true reflective surfaces?

How accurate is POV-rays radiosity functions in calculating true ambient
light?
