Well ...

First post of the day.

I feel guilty for monopolizing the mailing list over the last couple of 
days, but this is the first time in about a year that I have actually 
had the personal bandwidth to work with POV-Ray and I am really just 
becoming familiar again now with the tool.

This scene is another one from the world of my Myst-like game.

In this scene, the subject is a house in the desert, just as the 
previous scene was the ocean and the next will be snow.

Thanks to Slime, I learned how to use light_groups!

One thing that I discovered in creating this image is the following rule 
of ray-tracing nature:

The more "pretty" you make an image, the less "photorealistic" it becomes.

I guess nothing in nature is perfect.  This particular scene has a 
"cartoon-like" quality that I do not especially like.  But other than 
that, I'm pretty happy with it.

Any feedback is much appreciated.
