"But as others will surely tell you,
povray.newusers isn't the proper place to post images. those should go in
povray.binaries.images. It's common practice to either as questions here and
say "hey, i'll post the image over in povray.binaries.images" and people
will take the time to go look."

My mistake. I'm also new at newsgroups.

"1 - Your light_source is coincident with the floor, which might not be 
of great help.  You might want to move it somewhere else.  Especially 
since it is behind Bender, so your photons wouldn't be seen (none are 
shot anyways, because no objects interact with them at this point)"

The photons are leftover from a copy/paste from another scene. They 
won't be of any use in this scene, so they'll probably just be removed 
completely.

"2 - Adding "hollow on" to the plane does not give you anything."

That would just be the "Insert -> Plane" thing. I didn't think I needed 
it... I just never bothered to check.

"3 - I rewrote your Measuring_Wall object.  It could have also been just 
a plane or a box with a marble or gradient pigment.  I know that it is 
currently commented out, but it looks like you weren't aware of the 
power of the #while() directive."

You would be correct on that. I've never really used any of the if's, 
while's and so forth. Someday I'll get into that stuff.
But for now, thanks a ton for the rewrite.

"4 - This box causes an error because it goes from 1.5 to 1.5 in the Y 
direction.  I don't know what you were trying to do with it (I don't 
have enough time to reverse-engineer that bit of your code), but you 
might want to look into changing the value of Eye_Cover_Opening."

Well, it's supposed to be a cover for the eye-hole, and I see the error 
too. I rewrote it so the other part is 0.01 past the 1.5, so there's no 
error.

"Kiss my shiny metal ass.

Good idea for a project, maybe Lila would be a next step  ?"

That might be a bit harder. But I am planning on creating a little 
pointy beard for a "Flexo" model, and a gold finish for the alternate 
universe Bender.

"Bite my glorious, golden ass!" ;)


Thanks for all the help guys.
