  Blurred reflection and radiosity (Superpatch)? (Message 1 to 2 of 2)

I tried a pic last night using both blurred reflections and rediosity
with the superpatch.

On the first pass (you know.. the blurry one), it zipped along happily
till it reached the first point with a reflective object. It then
stopped. After 30 min with no progress, I canceled this.

Would it have kept going, or is there a problem? Without the blurred
reflection the first pass took only 30 min alltogether.

Since it's an IRTC entry, and the due date is comming quickly, I've
decided that radiosity is more important than blurred reflection. Shame,
though...

From the little experience I have with the blurred relfection, I can say that it
is very slow when you use high quality settings as used in the docs. 2 lines in
8 hours (800x600). Did not use it with radiosity though.
