Yes.  I've made some modifications to radiosity recently (well, a number of
months ago) just to test a few theories (check out the "Splotchy Radiosity"
thread in p.b.i for more info).  One thing I did not mention in that thread
is that I've tested using radiosity after reflections/transmissions with
success.  I've also used a trace depth of 10 for indirect diffuse lighting
(successfully bouncing light through a maze using only diffuse lighting).
Results have been good so far, but I'm still trying to figure out why POV's
interpolation/extrapolation is so bad.
