Thank you very much. The lamp was done in hamapatch. I wanted to make
something original and that fits in a children's room.

In this image I'm only using one area light like this (very close to the
ceiling):
light_source {
  <0.0, 0.0, 0.0>
  color rgb <1.000, 0.950, 0.850>*1.05
  area_light <1.000, 0.000, 0.000>, <0.000, 1.000, 0.000>, 2, 2
  adaptive 2
  jitter
 circular
 orient
  translate  <0.0, -20.0, 36.5>
}

I want to try the lightsys macros made by Jaime Vives to see if I get a
better result (though I always leave the lightning work to the end, so we'll
see...).

As you can see in the clock, its 8:15 p.m. Here in winter, at 8:15 it's
nighttime, so there's no light coming from the outside. (my sister who lives
in Asti has told me that in Italy night comes even quicker than in Spain ;-)

Thank you very much Jonathan (I also want to see a kitchen... )
Bye.
