What can I say? It's the same thing as before, but with more objects, and no
splotches. Many thanks to Nathan Kopp for debugging my scene and discovering
the problem was as simple to fix as increasing max_trace_level. God bless
you, Nathan! :)

Enjoy, people. It took ~7.5 hours to render, including multitasking to check
e-mail, and use ICQ, etc. etc.

It is a fun little collection of objects, and looks quite realistic for a
raytrace, but IMHO that's all it is, a collection.
The original objetcs would go well in a scene (ClayMan in his home with shoes in
the corner and the chair for furnishing...)

Exactly.

Nice font!!
Have you tried more complex textures?

BTW I coudln't help but notice the chair and box are parallel, and the torii
are perfectly stacked. You must be very anal about your arrangements! ;)

I just wanted everything to show up nicely. Actually, the torii don't look
quite right for some reason. I'm going to have to look into it.

PS: Notice that the sphere and the cherry are in the same diagonal line. :)

Ruritania. I can send it to you, if you want.

No. I'm not good at texturing (not yet anyway :) I would like to test this
on a 'real' image, but I've only been working on perfecting this in a simple
situation until now. The most complex texture here is the one for the
sphere, which uses a planar gradient to darken the top of the sphere enough
to show the normal.

That'd be great ;) - Its incredibly detailed - who was it done by?

looks like you have cracked it, not keen on how the bump mapped sphere came
out, but that's prolly just me, 7.5 hours? on what? thats painfull
