  Hi, Peter. If you're using MegaPOV, you might try illuminating the
room with ceiling panels and radiosity. Warp made some nice demo images
last year using radiosity in UVPov (and MegaPOV?) where the room was lit
with an object.

  Keep in mind that in the movie "Alien" the director of photography and
cinematographer can use all sorts of lighting 'tricks' that are not
visible in the film frame. You might be able to use things like
shadowless lights, if that is your goal.
