Blender and
True-Normals: These are custom builds that use
MoI's highly accurate normals. Here are executables for 2.49b and 2.5x.

Wings-0.99.04-SE: Here is my current build that
includes many enhancements. You may download an installer for your platform
here.

Wings3D & Global Illumination: Wings now
supports vertex colors, so it can indeed display, edit, and
render radiosity solutions. Screen Shot 1.
A Blender scene of the cornell box was
exported directly to the Wings3d File Format via my
custom python script. The golf ball object resulted in a 4MB
wings file! And that's after compression. The other ball was too
big to be exported as one object. I used one ambient light
source set to pure white to display the colors properly.

Radiosity: Blender vs. LightWave: Illustrates
the different ways to calculate global illumination. Blender
uses Finite-Element Radiosity and LW uses Path-Tracing.
Here are some of my ancient radiosity
solutions that I exported from Blender directly to LWO format:
LW-cornell-golf.png and
LW-cornell-box.png. Here
are some sample LWO files: lwo-vertex-colors.zip, some
of which have the vertex colors stored per-vertex in the VMAP
chunk, some have them stored per-face in VMAD.
