The model fo the plane looks good, it may be an idea to try conbinations
of the no_shadow keyword on one of your items.

Thanks- I'll try that on a re-render.  The spear was a quickie with a
squashed cone and a cylinder, the plane is one SOR and one prism with a cubic
spline.  I took mine from the workshop and spent a few minutes modeling it by
eye.

Cheers!

I compliment you on your punny take on the traditional newbie scene and
I am sure John Woodgate would be pleased by your efforts as well.

ROTFLOL!

That's an interpretation I haven't seen before!

Very funny. Don't improve the lighting or graphics!! I think that part of
the humor in this scene is that it is all crapped out just like a first
render. Especially the sky_sphere straight out of the docs.

    LOL!  Yeah, it's "hard work" to get that look and feel.
