relation between area & rpict settings

Hi all,

I'm rendering out an animation with Radiance which basically is a dissolving
cube.

Thing is that it's a bit pointless to use similar settings for a
Cornell-like box almost closed box, than a cube which is almost completely
open. So in order to get a more intelligent rpict settings based on the open
surface area would be a good start. Now my question would be whether
possible rad (don't think so) takes this relation into account, or has
anyone another suggestion of doing so.

Right now, I'm making a couple of rough intermediary tests, try to come up
with a couple of reasonable settings, and interpolate through them, but it
would be cool to do this in a more formal manner, such that will be an
advantage for later on since it could be quite useful.

Cheers,

Jelle.

Hi Jelle,

What would be useful is a web link to some of your images, so we can see your model and the artifacts you are facing.
