But - nice as this is, it's an 80%-correct solution, whereas using IDL, inverse square falloff, and GC is a 95%-correct solution.
There are things that jump out at me with this render - things that would make me not want this approach.
The two biggest things wrong:
the underside of the leaves at the top don't look right
there is an artificial straight line on the ground where light just stops - pure black - that is where the cutoff at 1750 inches is forcing pure black. It is too obvious, IMO.
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)
