Ah!! Much appreciated. Sweet.
BTW any chance of posting either the code or putting a larger version on the
web - I've a hankering for a new desktop...

Should have been masochistic:
1 a form of (esp. sexual) perversion characterized by gratification derived
from one's own pain or humiliation (cf. SADISM).
2 colloq. the enjoyment of what appears to be painful or tiresome.
and I was thinking of the second sense...

I prefer - schadenfreude \SHAH-dun-froy-duh\
: enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others

I think it was an IRTC entry by Sonya Roberts (BIG Maybe).

Aha, I found it. It still baffles me after staring at this picture for a few
minutes how he managed to put it in perspective. Oh well, I guess that's the
advantage of two dimensional drawings versus three dimensional scenes.

Great picture...any possibilty of posting the scene file? I am really
interested in your lighting and radiosity.

Well, okay. I cleaned up the code quite a bit. Now there's a variable so
you can change the height of each step and have the camera angle calculated
automatically, but I didn't do too much about optimizing the features. To
me, as long as it is finished by morning, it doesn't make too much of a
difference whether it takes four hours or eight. Also, the lighting just
consists of a yellow/orange area light with high intensity, and a blue sky
sphere for radiosity. That's about the extent of what you'll find in the
file, but I'll post it in p.b.s-f.
