Inspired by recent radiosity posts I made this one. Uses no light sources.
What's so different with this one? Render time. Took less than 8 minutes to
render in my 1.2GHz Athlon.

This is the future, Warp! :o) I really enjoy realistic lighting (I mean
areas of light).. Good work, too.. Do you expect it will soon be possible to
use SMALL areas of light? A bulb or a neon cylinder, for example.. Such
objects are too small for now.

You mean like this? (Render time 8.5 minutes.)

Wow, is that one light_source-free? It looks like you used an area light or
something.
Of course, if you can use an area light for that effect, then you might as
well, instead of just relying on radiosity. That could cause some problems,
though, when using looks_like - a bright light bulb containing a light
source would emit twice as much light with radiosity on than it would with
it off.

You got me. :o) I don't know how you did that, but maybe it's the walls
that make it work out.. I say you'll have real problems with 2 spheres only,
one of them to emit light and one to catch it - and eventually a ground
plane.. I tried this with many radiosity settings, all gives a total mess,
even with render times over a day.

I forgot to mention that recursion limit should be above 1 for the problems
to occur.. In case you want to start a test and prove I'm wrong.. If you
succeed please share the code, heheh.. :o)

I like this one better. The other was too dark for my taste. And how
about that render time then? My brain equates radiosity with hours :-/

I would add some depth to your *light bulb*. Since in POV light is very
directional the wall where the bulb is looks really too dark compared to the
other ones. Or just lower brilliance.
Neat scene.
Radiosity seems to be really in fashion nowadays... :-)

What radiosity settings did you use for this image?

Nope, it uses an area light. (I don't undestand why that somehow feels
like "cheating"... What's so wrong in using a light source?)
