Other things done wrong for a long time that you must stop doing if you use GC.
Diffuse_Value = 1 - wrong. Artificially boosts light levels. Better values are .7 to .8.
Constant and high Reflection_Value (way above .04). Wrong. Actual reflection values commonly encountered in real life are .02 to .03 and vary with viewing angle. The accurate portrayal of reflections, being a subtle low-level value problem, requires that the rendering equation and true light levels be used. Boosting reflections is a gamma compensation tactic. It's totally not necessary.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
