I've figured out how to increase the lighting radius (obviously). Conclusions. From the test renders I've done and the stuff that's on the CD, I would conclude that the GI is valuable for scenes which have multiple glow sources or more universal lighting schemes. The focused light I've used on the sword has VERY impressive lighting behavior but I simply need more glowing lights or at least larger ones (like a tube light). Reflexively, I think we need some more control over things. The sky dome stuff that I've seen appears to be somewhat overbearing. The rendering cost isn't as prohibitive as I would have imagined. The GI source glow image above was 90 minutes with GI jacked up FULL. Not bad. -Kix
