When I put a sphere with emission media in a radiosity scene - it doesn't seem
to have any effect on the radiosity. (Scene is completely black except for the
sphere)

Should this normally work ?

Thanks

In megapov you can use 'media on' in the radiosity block to take media
into account when calculating radiosity.

Thanks, I almost suspected I was missing something obvious. Now it works perfectly.
