[Radiance-general] rvu: too many modifiers in ambient list

[Gregory J. Ward]

Hi Lars,

I'm not sure what the limit is in the official release, as this is  
something I changed recently, but it's 512 if the latest head.  If  
you'd like to change it, you can either edit AMBLLEN in src/rt/ray.h  
or set a -DAMBLLEN=1024 (or whatever) in your optimization flags in  
rmake and recompile.

If you are excluding more modifiers than you are including, you can  
use the -ai or -aI option instead.

-Greg
