Some additional information:


To control the brightness of the map, just adjust the ambient. One way I
suggest is to use 'f-stops' (if you don't know what f-stops are and mean,
have a search for it on google. Basically it is a n^2 law, i.e., +1 f-stop
doubles the brightness, and -1 f-stop will half the brightness etc.)

Add something like:
#declare FStops=0;
#declare Bright = pow(2,FStops);

then use:
finish{ambient Bright diffuse 0}

Adjust FStops to the brightness you want.
