from what i remember radiosity rendering was really easy…but i have been trying to get a good render for about 4 hours now and nothing. i thought you had to set up a plane that emits light with the normals pointing twards the object. i thought all the objects were supposed to subdivided multiple times. i am having all sorts of problems im sure you could tell by the picture. materials have the radio button pressed and the radio button on in the render panel is clicked. i dont really understand a lot of the buttons in the radio tab so that is probably my problem. someone please help!!

thanks vince
