ok ... now for a rant of my own.

sorry if my style of referring you to the documentation doesn't suit ... 
for me i learn by doing it myself rather than getting someone to do it 
for me as you seem to be asking. povray is indeed a learning experience, 
and by all appearances you don't want to learn ... you just want an 
image. simplify things and go through the basic mechanics of 
transforming the light source, camera and objects before moving onto 
something more complicated ... walk before you run (that is why you are 
stumbling so much) have you even tried my suggestion for camera 
placement? it also works for light source as well. that way you can play 
with different transforms and see the effect that lighting and camera 
position has on your object. yes i've read your posts. they are rambling 
and full of typos, hard to follow. you're not very organized. we're 
living in an instant gratification society it would seem ... no one 
whats to take the time to learn anything anymore ... it's all about 
results NOW!
