Oh that's easy: just add an ambient 20 sky inside the one used for the global
illumination and put the no_image flag into it (otherwise the pic will look, hum,
*burnt*).

I didn't use very high radiosity settings.

But the trick is another one: you all know indoor pure radiosity scenes are awfully
hard to get good, usually because the skylight has very little room to pass through
(a window or a door for instance), and you need very high settings but things don't
look good either...
What I do here (and what I did elsewhere) is to add the no_image flag to the wall
where the window is... it looks right, it doesn't need damn high settings hence the
low render time. :-)

Hopefully I was clear enough, otherwise I can post the source if asked so.
