And one last thing:
When using ordinary lightsources, do they
affect radiosity? I'd think that radiosity uses
only ambient values, and lightsources affect
the diffuse value, and thus, when using radiosity,
I have to take care of ambient lightsources.

Is that correct?

I've just experimented and found that using
photons (loaded, without lightsource) affects
the image only very very slightly, and perhaps
that is the same case with lightsources?

I'd like some answers, even though I'll do more
experiments when I've got time. Just to make
sure that I'm not riding on any assumptions...
