6 will have infinite lights? That alone will be worth to cost of the upgrade as far as I'm concerned.

Yes Rampa , infinite lights bring us the"old way" to fake radiosity in realtime. I saw some blender tutorial that explain this technic.

One of the things the IndigoRT renderer will give us is radiosity. The projection of color from one material to another. Good ol' bouncin' photons!

Well, we can probably simulate it well enough in most iClone cases with an additional light. It won't always work, but with iC6 having infinite lights, it's worth a shot. Any brightly colored object be able to have some projected light if desired. Keeps you in real-time as well!

Here is my iC5 proof of concept for a translucent blue sphere with bright light. There is a blue spotlight embedded in the sphere to create the radiosity color.
