  Nope. S2 is exactly as random as S1 (ie. it will always have the same
value). I think that what he meant is a random value which changes from
run to run (like srand(time()) in C).
  AFAIK there's no way to achieve this directly with povray.
  Perhaps one solution is to make a small program which writes the current
time in seconds to a file and then reading that value with the #read function
in povray.
