there are none here, just simple ambient 0 diffuse something lambertian
surfaces.  Radiosity count was 80*4*2, error_bound .6/2 and nearest_count 12.
Next time, I'll try error_bound .6/3 and perhaps count 80*5*2...

thanks!  That's a great tip!  The range scans are very high-resolution and I
guess trying to calculate diffuse interreflection between all those faces
really killed the radiosity.  It slowed to a crawl everytime it hit one of the
bunnies...

thanks!  It's just a study.  But all the lighting and the rabbit looking
directly at it makes it feel like the poor fellow is being abducted by
aliens... ;)

neither am I.  I'll try to get as many shortcuts and optimizations as possible.

I put it to render and proceeded to watch some Seinfeld episodes on DVD...
