    Yeah, I guess the changes were subtle, and not easily identifiable as
post-processing techniques.  I might not have been clear in my post, because
the blue one is actually the original.  The highlights are different on the
p.p. version, and it is blurred ever so slightly towards the edges.
Radiosity had a picayune effect on the outcome, so I didn't bother to use it
in the final render.
    Here is an image I made where the post-processing is a lot more obvious.
I used some of the same techniques, but to extremes.  It is my own version
of a sphere sweep, with tens of thousands of translated and scaled spheres.
I just wish I knew how to use while loops.  No, just kidding.  Anyways,
thanks for the input.
