It looks to me like gloss paint over bumpy wallpaper.

exactly the effect i was going for.  i think i made the specular a little
too high and the bumps a little to big.  the bright star was definately from
the lightsource shining directly on it though.  i'll have to give it a
little work.

The bright star looks alright to me -- how ever may I suggest a normal
pattern that I find very natural looking.
Note that MegaPov kills this texture.
code and sample follow:

  normal {
   average
   normal_map {
    #declare normalcount = 1;
    #while (normalcount < 10)
    [ 1 crackle 0.1 turbulence 1 scale 2/normalcount ]
    #declare normalcount = normalcount + 1;
    #end
   }  scale 3 //this depends on the scale of the wall
}

It's actually just one very timy area light.  Here's the code for the light:

light_source {
 <-4.5, -2.40, 7.5>
 color <.8, .8, .65>
 area_light <0, 0, .025>, <0, .025, 0>, 7, 7
 adaptive 1
 jitter
}

It took me quite a while to figure that out.  I was trying to use a bigger
like, like about .5 to .1 and it just made a mess.

Very nice!

This 'cries' for an animation... If you don't want to do that, I would
really like to. (see signature below :-)

Bye,

what type of animation do you have in mind?  i thought of having the lamp in
the centre rotate, which would make some nice rotating stars and moons on
the wall.  is that what you were thinking of?
