artifacts in 3dsmax6 radiosity

[d7man2000]

I rendered using radiosity and I get strange artifacts on the edges and corners

What's you radiosity meshing size and initial quality?

[d7man2000]

mesh size : 1'

quality: 85

Hum....that should do... Be sure you have all geometries really together. You could actually have them a bit inside one another to ensure there's no light leak. Besides that, you could show us a wireframe and the other settings as well.

try setting the raytraced shadow bias of your light to zero.

If this doesn't work, try using the wall material with supersample.

Souldn't you align or snap them to each other for radiosity instead of overlapping? I always do that cause I've had some problems in the past where a surface does not get subdivided where the other surface intersects and then the light hitting the surface on one side gets bled over onto the other side - but I don't remember if I've had that happen with this particular engine...
