Reflective Sphere over Checkered Plane(t)
I've been working on a spacestation project over the past couple weeks
at the request of one of my kids. After all this RSoCP talk, I thought
I could come up with a unique RSoCP using my space station.
As they say, "That's no moon."

Wow the pictures look nice.
Do you also plan to model spaceships belonging to it?
Can these light spots glow in the dark?
A lot of details and these antennas. :-)

It would be nice. I have a small fighter-type spaceship, but nothing else.

Yes, they are all ambient textures. They are not actual light sources
though.

Yes, there is a lot of detail. The whole thing is generated by a
program, so I can modify quite a few parameters, and I end up with
about 500000 lines of include files to feed into POV-Ray. That render
took about an hour. I'm sure there are ways I could speed it up.
Interestingly, I threw it into the POV-Ray 3.7 beta but it was rendering
about 10x _slower_. I have no idea why.

So you almost finished modelling for a very good scene? You have just to build
some transporters? ;-)

10 HOURS? Whew. And you used the same settings both times?
That's a difference.
You can only change very few parameters, because it is function based?
