  Image Based Lighting (Sort of)

I wanted to use a panoramic image mapped to a sphere to light a scene using
just radiosity. I ended up using 6 Terragen images mapped to a cube as the
environment. I had to use a recursion of at least 3 for the radiosity to
light the scene as expected - otherwise things were almost black. Lastly, I
placed a light to correspond with the sun's position, so as to cast shadows
(hence the 'sort of' in the subject line - not totally rad lit)

Looks quite good I think.
