I had a look at your code,
Im only new to pov but had a quick stint with lightwave a few yrs ago.
heres what i did.
First the global ambiant settings need to be set at 0 or just under .01 etc.
then the diffuse and ambiet levels of the scene objects need to be set at
about 6 or 7 .
next set the light under the camera close to the ground and make it an area
light.
now take a cone or similar object add a filtered gradient to it ,make it
hollow and stick the light inside it.
move the camera and light on the same path abd you have a moving light
source.
the floor texture was too dark to really use so i changed it and made the
coloums cleaner to speed the render.
this is an example of what you can do with this light.
the shadows all fall away from the camera.
this is just a really messy work around using your code.
cleaned up a bit,
Im rendering an animation now so it will be inthe binary animation section,
called darkwood flight.
sprocket.(need a good povtag?)
source for dark forrest.(no animation values)
