Luxo Double Checker Locally Rendered
A locally-rendered version of Luxo Double Checker. Note that in the original scene the black patch on the right is reflecting about 17 times more light than the white patch on the left. However, they retain their black and white appearances due to local adaptation (as illustrated in this rendering).
