just messing around while my bagel was cooking this morning. I think
that I like making these simple scenes, especially with the usage of
media and fun finish statements. I also don't have the time or patience
to do a complex scene.   Oh well, I guess that is what grad school is
all about. :-)

Anyway, this makes for some nice wall paper, when i find which piece of
code I used, i shall post it for all those who may be in terested, it
uses a macro i wrote which makes a trigonal-pyramid base on the number
of spheres on one side and the radius. The colors are all randomly
generated, just to add a bit of the unknown to the render (and I just
figured out how rand() works ;-)

The contrast is uniformly low.  It makes this seem to be in a thick smoke
and the marbles have lost their vibrant colors  :-(

I apologise for the poor contrast, I assure you that when rendered at
1024X786 with AA, everything looks great.... alas, I think that the jpeg
killed the nice image....

No need to apologize.  Going from POV-Ray rendered output to Jpeg is
probably one of the major issues in this newsgroup  :-)
