I'll try the box.  The sky_sphere is no good so far.

absolutely, yes!  very difficult to reproduce with radiosity.  Perhaps it is
able to reproduce it, but then takes the same time as in path tracing, in which
case path tracing gets the high ground for getting better AA...

the shadows caused by the lamps in the wall are notable too.  Here's a rough
radiosity render which almost gets it.  radiosity is:
      pretrace_start .04

      pretrace_end .008

      save_file "prep4company-wip2.rad"

      always_sample off

      error_bound 0.1

      nearest_count 8

      minimum_reuse 0.006

  max_sample 1.4

 adc_bailout .01/20

    recursion_limit 2

    brightness Radiosity_Brightness

    count 200*3


I'll tweak it a bit more... perhaps lowering the pretrace_end and error_bound
and lowering count! :P
