Hmmm... - That is weird.

I have no idea what happening in that shadow area.
It seems that that the normals are not being 
included in the calculations in that area.

The image was rendered with this radiosity setting:

Rad_Settings(Radiosity_OutdoorLight, on, off)

Last friday I started a rendering on my 1 GHZ work PC
of the same image, but with better radiosity settings:

Rad_Settings(Radiosity_OutdoorHQ, on, off)

Hopefully this image will not have the same errors.


Thank you for making me aware of this Marc.
