  I just used an area light. Simple.

  It doesn't have to be. POV 3.5 can make good-looking radiosity really fast
depending on the complexity and contents of the scene.
  Of course there are scenes where you just can't get good radiosity fast.
And apparently there are scenes where you can't get good radiosity at all,
no matter what you do (due to the current problems in the radiosity code).

  Nothing special. You might get confused because I used a light source and
you didn't think of that.

  Anyways, I ised count 200, brightness 1.2, error_bound 1, low_error_factor .1

That is what threw me off I guess.  I was wondering how you got the shadows
so well defined, everything I tried (without light sources) wasn't giving me
good shadows.

thanks for the info
