I recall when radiosity renders took hours. Now it's a few minutes.
I dropped some old models from the AM CD into my tiny house room lit with radiosity. All the lighting is just that one bulb light near the ceiling.
Mach 5 Racer:
BioBot:
MotorCycle:
Janitor of War:
Space Marine. Something about the surface specularity on this model and the previous one is causing the conspicuous bright spots in the room ( I think).
