are you saying the second shadow is the one directly under the ball?  i agree... that looks a bit off.  but could it just be the reflection of the ball on the ground & back up in that tiny space between the two?  thats what radiosity does - caluclates bounces of light & color.

perhaps a test for this would be to color the ball red and leave the ground as is, or make it flat white.  then render again and see if that shadow is still a shade of gray, or if it has red in it =D

my radiosity is totally screwed up - as is my GI with those dots.  i should try to recreate the effect, as i didnt test the program itself, just that one scene file - and if i can, hello support ticket!
