Since I've little knowledge in lighting and photography theory, it's hard to
comment on this, but what strikes me is that in MP radiosity, a good balance of
light intensity vs brigthness can give amazingly "good" (meaning visually
satisfying) results. I'm running other interior radiosity tests using a
photograph as comparison and I've been able to reproduce the basic effects very
quickly. The render time is another matter of course...
