another one.
The "one strong lightsource" is also called "the sun". And high quality
radiosity is correct for shure, as nature reflects billions of light rays
each millisecond :-)

Maybe you missed both, the text and the subject. As mentioned this is a

ones). But anyway, you are very right with your analysis!
