Tremendous potential. The ribs on the torus look great. I think the image
would overall look better if all the spheres had better lighting so I could
see the color and texture on them.

Source posted to the povray.txt.scene-files. Uses

a few years back.

Thanks! I'de actually gotten fed up with the image when I posted
it. The positive feedback from multiple people was a nice surprise!

I've posted the source in povray.txt.scene-files if
you want to play around with it.

Heheh. I think anything looks sci-fi it you put enough lines/greebles
on it and light it with blue. :)

Looks very cold and inhuman, sci-fi. Cool image.
