Well, after seeing some of the posts I thought I'd give 3.5's radiosity a
stab. I started with Rick(Kitty)'s settings for his "Outdoing Brazil" post
and went from there. There's one, dim light source (rgb 0.06) in the scene
and a few items with high diffuse/ambient settings (diffuse 0.8 ambient
0.8). Render time was 6h 30m 52s at 640*480.

Global settings were:

global_settings {
  adc_bailout 0.003922
  ambient_light <1.0,1.0,1.0>
  assumed_gamma 1.9
  hf_gray_16 off
  irid_wavelength <0.247059,0.176471,0.137255>
  max_intersections 64
  max_trace_level 20
  number_of_waves 10
  radiosity {
    brightness       13.804
    count            1100
    distance_maximum 0.0
    error_bound      0.0157
    gray_threshold   0.2119
    low_error_factor 0.0009
    minimum_reuse    0.1875
    nearest_count    3
    recursion_limit  1
  }
}

Any comments or advice, especially on help reducing the artifaacts, would be
appreciated.
