The problem is that shadowless lights don't give highlights...

As far as my tests go (which doesn't mean much), these "good" radiosity settings
work very well when all objects are given something like ambient 0 diffuse 1.
The problem is that the absence of highlights give all the objects the same dull
plastic look. To get those, real lights are necessary, but then I have to
balance the finishes differently to compensate for the additional lights. All
I'd need would be a light source able to create highlights without contributing
to the scene luminosity and render time. Anyway, it's just an idea, and there's
still a lot to investigate with the current settings.

Look under "Radiosity" in the MegaPov Help file.

Thanks Tony I'll have a look at these.

They do now, but this syntax doesn't exist now(though some bits of it
do). There is no reason shadowless lights *can't* give highlights, that
was just a design choice which can be changed if/when this syntax is
added.

Probably not possible to avoid an increase in render time until the day
that radiosity can produce highlights.. but have you considered using a
very dim light, and setting your highlights really high (say, "specular 10")?

It's now been commercially released as "messiah:render",
assuming it's the same "Arnold".
See http://www.projectmessiah.com/news_frames.htm

I thought it was funny for two radiosity projects to have the same name. Oh,
well, too bad for us poor POVers, eh? :)

Hi Folks,
Here's my version of Gilles' image, with highlights.

This is the method I used; a large area light with a luminosity of 0.01
and a specular value of 80 in the finish.
Bye for now,
Mike Andrews.
