hello!
i renderd a scene of which the light- and reflection settings have looked 
great for me. but then i changed the code for testing another effect and 
deleted my old settings. so later i had to find out my old ones. everytime 
i did a test, i had to run it until the end to see what is happening on the 
ground floor. every scene took one hour. but i never found my old settings. 
later on i found out what happened: i had an area light somewhere in the 
code which denied me to find the right settings. :-P in that time i saw so 
many versions, now i do not know which one looks best. four of my cutted 
favorites i attached here. who may give me hints?

thanks.

Either one or four -- don't go with two, the area light size is huge and
makes stuff look weird.

just looking at the floor it has to be 1 or 4.

i'd go with 1.

nr 4 looks most realistic to me.. a bit better than nr 1..

   After looking at it this morning, and again just now, definately #1.

I'd say number 1 over number 4, but only because the source of the light in #4
is too bright.  The light source in #1 looks more realistic.
By the way, the texture on those tiles is perfect.  :)

i think i go on with the first. thank you all for the votes.
BTW: how you will have found out that i used textures? i do not know how to 
use textures since glueing pictures onto objects.
maybe lawrence can tell me more...

Hi, Marabou,

> who may give me hints?

I like #4.

Hint 1 =  everytime you make significant changes in your .pov file,
use "Save As" and give it a sequencial new name (i.e. bath01,
bath02...).

Hint 2 = I am designing a house and could use a sub-contractor to
design the bathrooms.  See Gallery 6 and 7 at my web site, listed
below.
If we collaborate you will get full credit in the source code and on
my web site.

Blessings,
          Brendan
