I did some of those things, but I think they are too small to be noticeable, 
resulting in a very smooth floor.  The floor is actually an iso-surface 
(from the iso_wood includes), so it should be easy to adjust.

As for the floating appearance, that's what I was getting at regarding the 
shadows and lighting.  Something isn't quite right, but I haven't been able 
to figure out what needs to be adjusted yet.  And with radiosity, it's 
difficult to make a change, try it, make another change, try it (on and on), 
simply because it sucks up so much time.  *sigh*

Thank you for your input!
