  Radiosity problem solved (for the time being) - and looking ahead!

High!

Thanks to Mark's suggestions, I increased the recursion level to 3 and 
downed the brightness (now it's 0.85). The result (first image attached 
here) is quite convincing to me, but it took my poor old AMD K6-II-400 9 
hours and 10 minutes (really time of a major system upgrade... I think 
I'll go for an Athlon running at 1.8 GHz). So for tweaking, I chosed a 
second radiosity setting, a modified version of Radiosity_Fast from 
rad_def.inc (second image).

The third image (with modified Radiosity_OutdoorLight from rad_def.inc) 
shows the whole building in its current state. Now I plan to place the 
whole thing into a suburb of (pre-war?) Kabul... but unfortunately, I 
lost the bookmark for those fantastic 3-arcseconds-per-pixel DEMs from 
the last great Space Shuttle global mapping mission after a system crash 
last month! I know it was on the USGS server, but USGS's web presence is 
quite ramified and sometimes confusing in its structure...

See you in Khyberspace!
