the minimum necessary to achieve the look you want
i.e., trial and error
setting it too high *can* increase render time considerably, while setting
it too low leaves black spots so find the best compromise.

i upped the max trace level to 20, it looks much better, just rendering
slow, i'll send it when its done. i'm still not happy with it.. but its
better. just going to take some playing around i guess...  but thats why
were all still using POV.. to play...
