	Yeah, render a short animation showing the moving parts of your scene
moving as they would over a very short period of time. How much each object
moves is dependant on how fast you want them to appear to be moving. Then,
when you've rendered the animation average all the frames together into a
single file. There are many utilities and image manipulation apps about
that'll do the averaging, DTA (Daves Targa Animator) springs to mind, I
don't have a URL for it, but I _think_ it's on ftp.povray.org.
