Hello,
  I do want to participate in this lighting challenge, but I have some concerns
about the finishes, specifically the ambient and diffuse values.  Both of these
affect the way an object behaves in response to light, and since the objects
have a non-zero ambient value, they will be treated as though they emit a small
amount of light when radiosity is used.  This prevents one from making realistic
shadows while radiosity is turned on.

I am going to leave the diffuse value unchanged, but I will be modifying the
ambient values.
