Hi again all,

Now that I have partially created my light source in my radiosity trace by
setting its ambient light level to 0.7 and setting the diffuse light value
of all the other objects in the scene to be 0.5, I am confused I should
make that light source object Luminous or Shiny? Really need the answer
quick (if possible).

Thank you very much.
