Hm, can't seem to find any images with the web-interface,
and I haven't got all posts on my HD... :-)

Still, the note about using pretrace start and end of 1
was good, I'll fumble with that. And I didn't realize
that max_trace_level would be that important as well,
but you're right, again, I should've thought about that
earlier. Still, higher max_trace_level isn't needed
desperately, as you've surely noticed with my other
pics... But perhaps I can keep more detailed radiosity
with higher trace_level...
