Yeah, the file queue worked great for objects, I set it to run in both 
3.6 and 3.7, turned on an MMO, and by the time the evening was over they 
were both done. The portfolio requires rendering with an .ini unique to 
each .pov file, and so eats up a bit more time as I'm not comfortable 
with scripting windows to do it for me.

On to wood.inc: In the display window while it's running and rendering, 
the images looked a lot different for the same file. Brighter or darker, 
the colors seemed more saturated. Checking the image after it's been 
saved to disk, I don't see the huge difference any longer.

I looked at t_woods6.png, it looks like it has some minor color 
differences in the dark area, but that could just be me. I'll check it 
in Gimp and difference the two images to see if it's just where I have 
the pictures on the screen.
