Wait, *dude*!...

How about that?? This is awesome! :-D

I tried with no media at all, and it looked neat. But... a little 
spartan... So I added a tiny weeny bit of blue absorption. BINGO! Is 
this crispy or what? >:-D

Radiosity is still putting strange patchy marks where there shouldn't 
be, and I still haven't found the optimum position for the light source 
yet... but I think this is nearly done. :-)

It's getting cool  as...peppermint?
It's time to work on the "S" isn't it?
Are you sure radiosity adds anything to nearly transparent objects?

Yes! :-D LOL.

Um... yeah... multiple cylinders, torii and cubes it going to take some 
doing! :-(

I have a nice little macro that does all the other letters for me - but 
it won't work for curved edges. *sigh*

Have a look at #4 and #5. You see how pitch black they are? That's how 
this image looks without radiosity. With it, the image is so much 
brighter...

Also, if you look carefully, you should notice that where the letters 
touch the ground, it's slightly darker there. (I'm still fiddling with 
the rad settings.)

Believe it or not but I'm a radiosity buff when there are surfaces which
diffuse iteratively light.
Maybe here you have a skysphere?
Did you try a remote bright (even over rgb 1... I usually use 1.5 to 1.8 )
point (or small area but render would get longer) light with an extra
shadowless large arealight?

Agreed!

But I've been wondering if the I's might look better if they were a bit 
narrower -- with shorter horizontal bars.  IOW a proportional instead of 
a monospaced "font".    :-)

Hmmmmm,  all the other letters are angular blocks.  What about doing
something like 45 degree angles on it rather than curves?

Weeeeee! :-)

Um... yeah. It probably would. (The "I" in particular.) However, that 
does make the maths harder. :-\

Well, there's a bright blue plane above the floor with ambient=1. ;-)

Hmm... maybe I could try a parallel light? Then the distance wouldn't be 
significant. (Plus I wouldn't get that annoying effect with the 
reflections changing angle like that.)
