Just playing with radiosity.  Rendered in 7h 57m 18s on my Athlon 700, 192MB.
Used Radiosity_2Bounce settings and lots of lights in the ceiling.

I was originally trying to light with ambient boxes, but quality was poor.  I
tried adding area lights but I didn't like the looks.  So, I wrote a cheap
AreaLight macro.  Much faster, much better looking.  There's still some
blotchiness, so I've got some tweaking to do.

Still looks good, though.

Questions?  Comments?  Suggestions?

Michael
