  Radiosity parameters are really dificult to understand. I don't understand
them very well. You have to read the povray documentation very carefully to
get the right values.
  I have been playing with radiosity as well, but with much better results.
You can check them at http://www.iki.fi/warp/pics/Radiosity_test/
  I can post the radiosity values of those images if you want.
