Thankyou all for the advice. I'm going to go in the way as you guys suggested,
and create my object in povray, and let the lighting handle the realism feel of
it.

On rather different note. Say I have a box, which is hollow(a room). I want to
change colors of different sides of this box(different colors for the walls). Is
this possible? Or do I have to create separate boxes so I can have a room with
different colors for each wall?

Regards,
Mike
