As far as my tests go (which doesn't mean much), these "good" radiosity settings
work very well when all objects are given something like ambient 0 diffuse 1.
The problem is that the absence of highlights give all the objects the same dull
plastic look. To get those, real lights are necessary, but then I have to
balance the finishes differently to compensate for the additional lights. All
I'd need would be a light source able to create highlights without contributing
to the scene luminosity and render time. Anyway, it's just an idea, and there's
still a lot to investigate with the current settings.
