Here's the next version.

First image just has more lights. (Render ~20 minutes.)

Second image has radiosity turned on. (All options default, except 
pretrace settings - I set the end step size a bit lower. Pretrace time 
~5 minutes, total render time ~4 hours 15 min.)

Spot the difference! (Well, these are JPEG, so it's harder. But 
basically, the second image has slightly more yellow in the middle. 
That's about it.)

To do:
  * Use area lights. (I think the shaddows would look better if they 
blur as you move away from the lights.)
  * Use focal blur. (But not too much.)
  * Use Chris Colefax's lense flare thingy.

My God, this is going to *eat* my CPU...

Andrew.
