> Marc,
> Excellent work!
Thanks :-D

> I'm ignorant; what is mlpov,
It is a patched version of POV. see here:
http://pov.monde.free.fr/mael/mlpov083eng.html
I hope some features of mlPOV will be included in next version of megaPOV
(another patched version, kind of independent R&D center for official POV)

>and what exactly is HDRI and what does it do?
High Dynamic Range images ( each color chanel is encoded on 24bits rather
than 8, allowing a larger difference between high lights and deep shadows,
as in real world)
They allow realistic illumination by a mapped environement (there is no
light in this scene)
