Hi folks,
I wanted to improve my McIntosh image, mostly the table material and the
tubes filaments light emission.
I had to fiddle with radiosity settings. filaments are just high ambient
textured stacked tori, (20 ,2 per valve, arealights should take forever to
trace and point lights should be unrealistic)
I used save & load radiosity data (as found on Jaime's page
http://www.ignorancia.org/t_tips.php ) with higher ambient for the filaments
during the pretrace
I am still not quite satisfied: lighting by filaments is uneven.
Modeled with Moray with some Luis' DirectCode plugin additions and directly
exported and rendered in Megapov 1.1
A larger version can be found here:

Comments & advices are welcome as usual :-)

here are my radiosity settings

#if (use_rad)
radiosity{
// save settings: modified Outdoor settings from rad_def.inc
#if (use_rad=1)
brightness 1
count 1300
error_bound 1
gray_threshold 0.0
low_error_factor 0.6
minimum_reuse .015
nearest_count 5
recursion_limit 1
adc_bailout 0.05
max_sample -1.0
media off
normal on
always_sample 1
pretrace_start 0.08
pretrace_end 0.02
save_file "rad-save-load.rad"
#else
// load settings
pretrace_start 1 pretrace_end 1
load_file "rad-save-load.rad"
error_bound 1 // it's important to specify the same value used to save
data
recursion_limit 1 // also the same if specified
always_sample off // no more samples: specially useful with focal blur
#end
}
#end
}

Nice version too. It seem that you remove the bump and changed the
texture of the table...

I must say i like the old version better. The wood pattern looks
somewhat strange in this one.
Your comment says it is important to use the same error_bound when
taking and reusing radiosity data - this is not necessarily the case
(and to avoid taking too many additional samples in the final trace it
makes sense to use a higher value there.

Thanks, I still feel dumb in front of radiosity parameters, btw it is not my
comment but Jaime's comment, as I copy/pasted his code and fiddled with
values.
