You know when you hit that breaking point, where it seems everyone
else's PovRay images are so great that you'll never amount to anything
(Pov-wise)?  Well I hit that point a while ago, and it's taken me until
today to get past that funk.

I like simplicity.  Minimalism.  So here's my tribute to "starting
over", one step at a time...

By the way, a little bit of quality was lost upon conversion to jpg...

Mr. No Signature Macro,
Lawrence

Nope.  Just some slightly tweaked default radiosity/photon settings.  I
can send you the code, but you'd likely laugh at the simplicity of it
all.

And thanks a whole bunch for liking it.  That's exACTly what I needed to
get my Pov-ing motivation in gear!

Very simple, really.  I actually created it through Moray.  Three
spheres, glass textures, photons and radiosity.  I removed the ambience
from the textures and played around with the radiosity until it looked
nice.  The photons were the last step, but I kinda just used the
defaults, there.

Thanks for the comment!

They're cute. And awesome at the same time. I
like simplicity as well. And photorealistic renders
with minimal scenes... I love it.

Really simple, but it looks nice! And in my opinion you shouldn't use a
chequered floor. This would disturb this image.

i agree, but just a plane old grey also doesn't do justice. sure, it
contrasts with the vivid colors or the marbles, but something more "real
world" might look nice too.

Nice. I like it. I've had similar feelings. My work just doesn't
compare to the artistry others post here. Then I think back
to the simple joy I had 10 years ago with glass and chrome
spheres, and realize that simple can be beautiful!

Thanks for the marbles.

The simple beauty of Povray 3.5's ray-tracing power.  I like this image, I 
have made many similar in the past, they really show the power of Povray 
and the beauty of it is that they are very simple to make.

Here's the easiest way to get started:
Start a new scene, Menu: Insert -> Scene Templates -> Photons scene.
Remove the cylinder,
Add more spheres and use different colored glass textures ("textures.inc" 
contains some more glass examples)
Add radiosity, play with the camera, lighting (area light is best) and 
floor...
And you are more than half way there.
