Well after playing around with this image in MegaPov for a while, trying
many many radiosity settings, I gave up. But I have improved the image
in regular Pov. The JPEG compression really hurts the gradient sky
outside, I guess because JPEG is harder on the blue spectrum.

I don't know why all the images I post here seem darker than they do on my
Hard Drive?? This image looks quite a lot brighter on my HD, perhaps it has to
do with all the white in surrounding it in the news reader. If you want to
view it properly, may I suggest that you view this, full screen against a
black background.

That doesn't look bad, although i wonder why megapov radiosity did not work. If
you would post a render with megapov, we could maybe see what's wrong.   

The sky seems like sunset, but from the shadows you can conclude that the sun is
quite high.  Furthermore I still think, that the light source should be
brighter.  

Anyway, it's still a nice scene.

Christoph

Use a gamma of 1.0 in the global_settings when using radiosity (as of
why, ask Kari, he seems to be able to explain it the best) and adjust
your gamma in the main .ini (measuring it first, of course :)) )
