Nope, not really, I was sleeping...



Thank you!

I had that in mind, but this effect was just quickly hacked, not
something that'll stay this way. A first attempt, so to speak.
Higher resolution wouldn't have that much impact, I'd say, the
scene isn't that difficult, its the parsing that's very complicated.

lights?

These are fading point lights. Radiosity requires way too high settings
with way too much time to be accurate enough for an animation
like this (I've tried with other, similiar things before).
