Thank you for answering, Thorsten
    I asked this question because I have been comtemplating writing my own
program to control multiple machines running POV-Ray, until I stumbled onto
the radiosity problem. I've read the overview in the docs of how 3.5 handles
radiosity, but can you show me where to read about this in much more depth?
Is it possible to get POVRay to output octree data?

Regards,
George Pantazopoulos
