Some good news actually regarding scattering media - I'm getting some good
results from this.
I tried adding a very simple scattering media to my room and it made a huge
difference - even without any emissive characteristics, the scattering
effect caused rays to bounce more or less as I'd expect sunlight to interact
with my room. It's almost as if the 'scattering' of a single radiosity ray
simulates the effect of the sunlight bouncing around the room several times.
Unfortunately it's very tweaky - small changes in radiosity settings mean
you have to modify the media - but I'm still working on it. The good news
is that using media, I can get good results in much less time than by
cranking up my radiosity settings. I may not be able to get a reliable
framework out of it - but I will let you know if I do.
