University is the main reason I didn't raytrace for so long.

Thanks, and yes you're right about the wood, I'll dirt it up.

No tricks here. This time the wall is a "real" wall. Although it may look
similar it's a completely different radiosity setup, slower but better.

Yes the coffe percolator is almost one year old, which is sad: I can make a
several hundreds lines CSG model and texture it in one day, then I feel so
tired that I can't touch POV-Ray for weeks. This way I'll never finish a
scene... :-( Together with the fact that I'm very busy at university, this
is the main reason why my productivity is so unbelievably low...
Anyway, I did do that in one week, except the oven, the coffe percolator,
the juice bottle and the smallest jar, as stated elsewhere.

Thank you Greg! This could also serve as a beautiful signature...

Hmm I'm not too familiar with feet inches et similia... do these tiles look
too large? I thought 15cm x 15cm a reasonable size.

Thank you, but this time modelling was pretty straightforward.

Thanks for your input. I'll work in that direction.

15x15cm would be about 6x6in. I'm not sure I've ever seen 6" tiles on a
wall. That's here though, I'm not sure what is common over there. Here, the
most common wall tiles are 4x4in (10.16x10.16cm).

I wouldn't add too much thingies, but that's because my house is full of
stuff and I'm getting tired of that....;-)
