No Radiosity

No Radiosity

I included the file titled "No Radiosity" so you can open this and other radiosity pictures in separate tabs and compare them. It is not the most pleasant POV-Ray's feature especially if you have an older machine in the sense of time consumption, because radiosity can be very slow. As you know "radiosity in POV-Ray is a lighting technique to simulate the diffuse exchange of radiation between the objects of a scene". It means that by default POV-Ray creates very sharp shadows that can be found on the moon and similar places. On the earth the shadows are softened by atmosphere that reflects and refracts light.
