I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask that question.  If you sort the
messages by sender, or go to my home page you can see the kind of image I
tend to make.  I have only been using povray for about 5 months, and I'm
not past the doodle stage yet.  The image I attached is the most ambitious
I have tried to make yet, still not done.  There are people on this server
who have a huge amount of experience.  Maybe if you start a thread in
povray general one of the really talented people will answer.  Maybe I am
a better person to answer, the people who have been poving for a long time
won't have recent memory of what it was like starting out.  I don't know.
