new settings for shaders in maya 4.5 with mental ray...
irradiance and irradiance colour...
i understand they have something to do with how the material is affected by final gather...
could someone who knows fill me in on these two?

the bottom one controls how responsive it is to radiance. the top one controls how much it irradiates.... or something.
