No prob. I could have made the lettering on the boxcars text objects and
cubic_spline prisms. Let's get real. :)

You could also use text objects and prisms with the "object" pattern...

Have you seen Fight Club on dvd.  Image based rendering can produce spectacular
results.  Usually looks much more realistic than that stuff they did in "The Phantom
Menace".

Looks great. Best pov radiosity so far.

What is this thing about cheating? Are there some rules that specify
recommended procedures for creating images to be posted here? I
always thought that if even a part of the image was rendered with pov
it would be kewl to post it here. No matter how Photoshopped, image
mapped and composited.

Looks nice, i did a radiosity render with similar settings (error bound =
0.01, count = 180) with a slightly more comlex scene recently, and had to
cancel it after rendering more than a day and only finishing about 1/4 of
the final pass and taking far more memory than i have (128 Mb)
