Just playing with radiosity. Rendered in 7h 57m 18s on my Athlon 700, 192MB.
Used Radiosity_2Bounce settings and lots of lights in the ceiling.
I was originally trying to light with ambient boxes, but quality was poor. I
tried adding area lights but I didn't like the looks. So, I wrote a cheap
AreaLight macro. Much faster, much better looking. There's still some
blotchiness, so I've got some tweaking to do.
Still looks good, though.
Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

I think an area_light with appropriate settings would be faster and better
than a lot of point lights here. You will have to play a bit with the
parameters to get it fast and avoid graininess at the same time.
