I agree Neil, and the fact that it's not a typical geodesic tent shape that 
human explorers would probably use gives it that alien feel. I'm already 
wondering what kind of beings do use it, why are they there, and where is all of 
their stuff.  Did they meet something that didn't agree with them, or something 
that agreed with them so well it had them for dinner. :)

I'm new to POVray and so I've not played much with advanced textures on my own. 
   So I'm not sure how one would make the shadow of the shelter interact with 
the pattern of the sand.  Right now it doesn't and that gives the "flat" feeling 
IMHO.  Would a bump map help provide depth? or maybe darkening the shadows with 
a colormap?
