Thanks...

Well here is what I used...

[800x600, AA 0]
Width=800
Height=600
Antialias=On
Sampling_Method=2
Antialias_Depth=2
Antialias_Threshold=0.0

And it took about a week to render on my 1.5 GHz P4.  I agree it looks like
it needs more AA but I didn't want to wait forever either.

Well I did download a program called ImageForge so I could save the
1,440,054 byte BMP image as a 337,634 byte PNG image.  I was trying to avoid
the artifacts created by going to JPEG.  If I broke any posting guideline
you have my apologies.  Is JPEG the prefered posting format here?

My first image I posted here was in the JPEG format but once I saw the
difference between the JPEG and PNG files of the same image I was rather
easily converted.  To be honest not only am I new to POV-Ray but I'm new to
some of these image formats as well.  I wasn't aware of much aside from BMP,
GIF, and JPG a little over a month ago.  I'm toying with the idea of making
a few animations but I know even less about all the formats they are saved
in.  I'm sure I'll learn.

Thanks again.  I aim to please,

Carl
