  I tried .... I failed ...

I thought I will try also such a radiosity image, but it seems I can't get
the right parameters...

I rendered it in 2h ...

Peak memory was about 340MB...
Therefore I needed to lower the count to
I tried it with count=196 but my memory didn't agree with this idea ;)

Any ideas, how to tweak the rad-settings ?
Other comments ?


global_settings {
  assumed_gamma 1.0
  max_trace_level 48
  adc_bailout 1/96
  #if (Radiosity)
    radiosity {
      pretrace_start 0.02           // start pretrace at this size
      pretrace_end   0.01           // end pretrace at this size
      count 128                     // higher -> higher quality (1..1600)
