Re: radiosity and rendering

a quick note about radiosity, i would tend not to use it for videos, becuase it takes way too long and it will not improve the quality THAT much. radiosity is good for stills, where detail is not lost due to either the quick animation (it stays still so you can take it all in) and/or compression. in my opinion, unless you have an extremely fast computer (not pc, im talking like a supercomputer) or a renderfarm, using radiosity would be very impractical
