The displays are [going to be] a 'captured moment' i.e. from another time
('tempus recipere'? Any latin geeks out there?). So they will not be
affected as much by the museum's lighing. It will look better when I get
the exhibits finished.


Update: I finally got the walls to look white! Yay! Will post (possibly
tomorrow) another render when it is done.

Haaaaaaa :) realy better with AA ! now I can see details ... the floor 
bump is very nice :) ... I won't tell you about coincident surfaces as 
you allready know it, but if you take a look at your two characters, it 
looks like their feet pierce the balcony :-/ (a black thing near the 
wall under the balcony).
Another thing is that the wall under the balcony seems to have no 
thickness, but this might be due to the IOR.

Ooh. Looks like it must be a radiosity artifact; I see what you mean, so I
just did a super-quick render to make sure, and they do appear to be
solidly ON the balcony. I'll have to watch that corner, though.

A friend of mine noticed this, too. The edge of the display case matches up
perfectly with the edge of the image. I didn't mean to do this, but it
happened, so I left it that way. Looks like I'll have to bump my view over
a touch.
