Welcome to the wonderful world of POV-Ray and it's users! I will pull a
random startup tutorial out of my hat... and point you towards:

http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Haven/9526/nets3/intro.htm

This site should hopefully give you a few ideas of how POV-Ray works. There
are also several example scenes that are included in the POV-Ray download
that provide you with an example on how to make each of the basic shapes.
Once you have a little foundation under your belt, we are more than happy to
give you advice from how to script a complex scene to basic indentation
patterns in your source file.

Please don't be offended by "Read the manual" responses here, but they are
common, we only mean that it is not the biggest language out there, but it
is hard to take someone with no previous raytracing or 3d experience (If
that is the category you fall in, you may have some experience, which will
help) to their first scene. Imagine teaching someone to drive, when that
person has never seen a car before. It becomes very difficult to start.

Good luck, and I hope to see something from you in PBI.
