Thanks!

OK, but in that case I'll need someone to render the final image for me. My
limited computer power (P150 with 16MB RAM) makes it almost impossible for
me to use other programs while POV-Ray is rendering, and I really can't be
without my computer for so many hours I figure it'll take.

I'll have a look at it.

I'll have a look at that too.

Thanks for the suggestions!
I'll try the different things and see what I like best :-)
I don't think I'll add dripping water or pools of water though.

I'll do it for you, Rune. =) I've got a PII-400 with 128MB.

Thank you very much!

You'll hear from me when it's finished.
(I don't know when that is, though)
