Hi Nemesis,

in fact, to talk about the "mirror" effect of the chopper: I developed the 
scene file some long time ago. It looks very different with the previous 
version of POVRAY (v.3.5), as far as I remember. With version 3.6, the 
entire image looks much softer, like an increased radiosity value for 
everything. But in addition, the textures just don't look anymore the way 
they did. The chopper was supposed to be glossy, yes, but still to show 
clearly a color move from light gray (at the bottom) to dark gray (at the 
top of the chopper). Now, with version 3.6, the gloss became to a mirror.

I do not want to change too much in the scene file, I prefer to wait how the 
final version of POVRAY 3.7 will interpret certain attributes.

Render Farm: can anyone post a link to get more information on that subject? 
I might be interested in such a "Render Farm".
