The images below are the same model, with one light source (the sun, lat 47
long -74 at 10am est).  The second was rendered with Radiance, and I love
the lighting.  The first was done in POV, and the lighting makes the chairs,
particularly the far one, look like they're floating.  Perhaps y'all could
point me in the right direction with radiosity in POV.  Here's my global
settings:

global_settings{
 assumed_gamma 1
 max_trace_level 5
 radiosity {
  pretrace_start 0.04
  pretrace_end   0.01
  count 200
  nearest_count 10
  error_bound 0.5
  recursion_limit 5
  low_error_factor .25
  gray_threshold 0.0
  minimum_reuse 0.0075
  brightness 1
  adc_bailout 0.01/2
 }
 ambient_light 0
}

Thanks
