Well, I tried to render this for the IRTC, but it took way too long to
finish. So posting it here is the next best thing. I'm pretty happy with it
except I could never get quite the right texture for the bridge. comments?

P.S.  I have  no idea what the robot is doing.

Whew, that's beautiful.  I'm just curious, where's the robot?

I agree with Kyle, that is a gorgeous image. Comment for the bridge: What do
you think of a rough stone texture? Make the bridge seem to have been hewn from
solid ore - maybe even imbed in it an illumed crystal formation or two to
balance against the large formation on the right.

Has a hand drawn look to me almost, like sci-fi book cover art, I
thought this of Philippes' image in the reply to "'My' Escher" also. The
colors are similar, wonder if that's why, well anyway...
That bridge peeled-paint-and-rust texture seems alright, think
imagination is always a requisite when viewing an image, same as when
reading.
Not sure of what to make of that sphere on a chain though (imprisoned
sphere?), I see some reflections (refractions too?) in it but pretty
much just the lights(?).

Great image! I like the colors, especially the brown/orange/yellow
"glowing-sort-of" ones. I agree with Bob that they give the image a kind of
handpainted look - takes it away from the CGI stereotypes...

Looks good. Is there a story behind this scene?
The bridge texture should be dirtied up. A slight bump map, the rusty
patches (?) should be less prominent and with jaggy edges. Also, the
highlights seem a too bright and tight.
I'm a bit puzzled by the wall texture. What is it? A heavily magnified
bitmap, a repeat-warped colormap or what?

Thanks. I was trying to make it not look so CGI-ish.  In answer to your
questions

    The robot is the thing on the left with the big reflective head who is
holding the glass sphere

    I tried to think up a story for the scene, but i just couldn't.

    The texture on the walls is a repeat warped bozo pattern

    The glass sphere is  filled with a scattering media. Its supposed to be
a trapped gas cloud, but   it wasn't really worth the HUGE amount of extra
time it took to render on my relatively old  p133.

Also a rough stone pattern for the bridge would've looked great. Maybe a
gnarled chunk of metallic ore. I wish i'd thought of that.

Nice image I especially like the reflective golden object. How did you create
this, what material is on it?

Just thought you might want to know that I found you image on another web site,
some guy who's taking a bunch of pov-ray newsgroup postings and putting them on
his page. He has your email address there so I'm guessing you know about it.
Just thought you might want to know.

The web site is http://a214.ryd.student.liu.se/povray/. You can find a posting
of his about the site it povray.binaries.tutorials
