  A different radiosity test ... (Message 1 to 7 of 7)

Let me explain first:
There is a room, divided by a wall. This wall has several holes.
in one half of the room, there are some bars in the full length
of the room, having ambient 1, so they are the light_sources ...
But: I used one Red, one Green and one Blue lightsource ...
.. so in theory, there should be a quite neutral color in the
shadows in the other half of the room, with only some colors at
the edges of the shadows ...

As you can see, the distribution of radiosity-traces implicits
some nice colors, but I don't want to be on XTC....

another interesting artefakt is, that the separating wall (which is very
thin), has
lights in its edges, where it sould be the darkest point in the room ...
Yes: I'm sure this wall leaves no space for light, to travel through
at this point...

I found out, that increasing recursion minimizes this effect, but I don't
want
to go deeper.

Are there some ideas, in which direction I should change the params ?
I found out:
    - that decreasing recursion makes the edges even more lighter,
      so I don't think this can be lowered ...
    - that I don't intend, to increase  count even more ...

I see you have a pretty low minimum_reuse so you're probably on the
right track. It just seems to me you have to reduce it even further...
or make the wall thicker.

I have also had this bleed-through happen to me on a counter-top.
I had to make adjustments to error_bound to keep the bleed-through
from happening. Also a help was changing the pretrace_end value by a 
small amount, but that value was not a consistant fix to the problem
as the error_bound adjustment seems to be.
