Ah, commercial renders vs. POV-Ray... Oh my! *drool*

"The amount of raw polygonal information (130 million triangular
polygons) precluded the use of commercial rendering packages and while
there are some specialist methods for rendering such datasets they
don't provide the desired rendering quality (eg: shadows). The
rendering was performed using a combination of locally developed
tools, a modified version of a public domain raytracer (PovRay) and
locally developed distributed rendering utilities."

  That "precluded the use of commercial rendering packages" really pleases
my eye... :P
