The lighting is actually test lighting. I'll dim it down, move it up
and add some clouds. The final lighting is too dim to make
out all the detail I need for design

Unfortunatly there isn't much more of the car. Maybe I'll add headlights
and rotate it a bit

I saw sun yesterday for the first time in a week and a half. The evening
entertainment at the moment is seeing if I can get home (across a river)
and seeing where the leak in the ceiling has moved to. My boss's
house was flooded last week and driving at the moment is
a risky business (Most south africans don't now how to drive in bad weather)

Actually my raytracing is being hampered by a client from hell and a good
game.
