I figured that as a newcomer to the group, it was high time for me to post
the traditional scene that newbie raytracers create and proudly share with their
friends.  So here it is, the ever popular reflective plane over a checkered
spear.

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.
