In defense of MegaPov, I have to say that it produced the more realistic
image. I would not expect much light to be coming from diffuse interaction,
since there are no objects surrounding the object to provide diffuse
reflection of light, and the object won't reflect much light back on itself.
The official version has a tendancy to greatly exaggerate diffuse
interaction in scenes where a black background is used. Thus, you could
probably multiply the radiosity "brightness" by 10 in MegaPov to achieve a
similar effect.

What did you do to turn on radiosity? Did you add a radiosity block to
POV-Ray or did you just use the Render Settings switch? Only with the
radiosity block in the scene it should turn on, and the switch is useless
with MegaPOV, if I remember it correctly...

I did some mistake with megapov, in the beginnig, I used
radiosity block but without ini_option "+QR" so you see
the mosaique but no radiosity were calculated. Check to
see if Megapov really calculate radiosity.

If I'm not mistaken the way it works is this: without the block, the
switch won't turn radiosity on, but with it, it will turn it off.

I used both the switch and the default global_settings { radiosity {} } to
turn the affects on then turned both off and the bottom image was the result
for both in MegPov. The official also added to the surface normal/texture to
give it more of a tarnished or dirty look this is what i was after...

No offense to MegaPov meant i am glad to have all the new features especially
the functions and the media method...
I simply like the exaggerated affects the official radiosity produced... It
made for more of an interesting affect in my opinion...

How do i check to see if radiosity was calculated...?
Yes i see the "mosaique" (splng?) and get the .rca file before the final
render...
It works in other scenes just not the way i am accustomed...

Simply turning on radiosity can be done in two ways:
either put in the global settings:
ini_option "+QR"
or turn on the switch near the quality popup (official or unofficial GUI
Macintosh versions)
Further settings are done in the radiosity block.

Increasing the brightness in your radiosity block, as Nathan suggested,
will produce this exaggerated effect.

It does not give the affect i am after it is similar but the bright blue color you
see in the front half tends to bleed onto the the rest of the object...
