Yeah it's a light source, with radiosity for the HDR. I was suffering nasty
artefacts with just radiosity and HDRI (hence my earlier HDR post using a
light dome) but evidently having 1 dominant light is enough to make the
radiosity look good.
You're right, it needs to be an area_light, I'll go fix that. I'll also
stick in a shadow from the trees.
Tone mapping is like a gamma curve but fancier, see the megapov
documentation on it's tone_mapping feature:
