How about making it darker so that the room is mainly illuminated by the film
(as in the real cinema).
BTW, you should consider watching all your films in a raytraced theater ;-)

Looks nice. Kinda dark (which is what a theater should be), so I can't
quite make out the furniture. Is that a table next to the couch(?) ?
What would be really neat is to actually see the projection coming through
the room, but you might have to make it a bit darker to achieve the right
effect.

Maybe someone can help me with that-- in my tests I removed all light
sources, I left the screen ambient 1, and everything else ambient 0. Using
defualt megapov radiosity the screen illuminated precisely nothing... how
can I make it cast a glow??
> BTW, you should consider watching all your films in a raytraced theater

I was telling my brother how I was going to ray-trace a massive hi-fi system
with giants 30 inch subwoofers etc.. and he talked me out of it, saying no
matter how well I modelled it, it would never produce sound.
I guess he was right, but you know you've been raytrcing too long when....

Thanks! Yes, there's a little round table of my own design... being orange
against a red background probably doesn't help matters.

I actually designed it with sort of a futuristic plasma screen in mind... If
you look carefully you can make out the little red light indicating that
it's "on"

You might want to move from stereo to 5.1 surround
sound, and perhaps provide seating for two (might be
a big chair for two to curl up in...)
My personal taste would run to more futuristic looking
speakers. Perhaps spheres suspended from the ceiling
instead of the big-box look. And the blue cloth is not
what I would choose.
Hey, you asked for comments :-) Nice work!

Hmm, IMHO if you are using radiosity, then ambient should be turned off
globally (since ambient is essentially fake radiosity). It certainly won't
contribute to radiosity.
How about going the whole hog - basically fake a projector and project your
image at your screen?

Yeah I know.. but how else can I give it that backlit look? ambient works
but doesn't cast a glow, so I'm still stuck!

Because it's not a projection, it's a flat plasma screen :-)

If guests arrive I can produce extra seating at the push of a button.. well
a few buttons anyway (object {sofa})

if it's a plasma display, there can't be a speaker behind it.

sorry to say this, but the sound in that room would be pretty bad. the
walls need either a different shape or something on them to help the
sound or not get in its way. you may have noticed that most theaters
have curtains covering the walls nearly completely. other theaters have
nice oval shapes and/or saw tooth wall and ceilings. the reason of
course is accoustics. plain, flat walls bounce sound too much. also,
if you take a look at Home Theater Interiors magazine, you'll find that
most high end rooms have all the speakers recessed. and there is
usually only indirect lighting from wall sconces or alcoves. real
theater chairs and loveseats are also common although sofas are too.
good start though.

Why not?
Oh well...make it a printed organic LED screen...attach a piezoelectric
driver to the back, and the display could *be* the speaker. Sound would
likely be horrible though, and the vibrating display would probably give
people headaches.
BTW, has there been any recent progress with OLED technology? It looked
very promising when I first read about it(low power consumption, low
manufacturing cost, the ability to cheaply print them on many different
surfaces, such as flexible, transparent plastic or glass, high
resolution, short response time, etc.), but I haven't seen much more
about it...

How about a library of DVDs and Videos along the wall?
And a 'bar' recessed into the other wall?
and a nice big sofa in the middle with pillows - and some speakers in the
corners?

Seems you might need media in that room then, and turn diffuse way up over
1. The MegaPov radiosity uses the diffuse amount and not the ambient
amount. Add 'media on' in the radiosity statement. Not sure if you'll ever
be able to get anything substantial without wrecking the rest of the scene.

I don't think media would be necessary just to get light emitted from
the screen...

Actually, it uses the diffuse amount for the amount radiosity
contributes to the lighting of the object, but still uses the ambient
value for the amount of light from the object itself. You usually do a
glowing object by giving it a high ambient, though you should use
ambient 0 for non-glowing objects.
The old radiosity used the ambient value for the amount of radiosity
applied to the object, so ambient 0 meant that no radiosity would be
used for the object. This is what was changed in the new radiosity.
> Add 'media on' in the radiosity statement.

You only need it if you use media and want radiosity to calculate media
effects. Otherwise, it shouldn't have any effect.

If by "doesn't cast a glow" you mean that it doesn't light the rest of
your scene, you should either use a higher ambient or increase the
radiosity brightness (higher ambient is the more realistic solution). If
you mean that you want a glow effect around your screen, then media is
the way to go (either scattering and media on though I don't know if it
works and in any case it'll be very slow or emitting).
