This image was not intended to look real or even to look abstract.  This
image is completely conceptual to me (the fallen chair means a lot).

It's mainly inspired by the wars going on in povray.off-topic about the war
on Iraq.  The way I feel on the issue is that both sides think that they are
correct and will argue it to death -- the standing chair represents this
side.  The other side, however, doesn't want to hear it -- hence the fallen
chair.

Same here. I do everything by trial and error if it concerns lighting
issues. Same with photons and media (especially if combined with fog).

Heh, my next topic is going to be radiosity, which will probably require
quite a box to render it.  I'll probably get MacMegaPOV and benchmark my Mac
(which should be faster than my P3-733, but we'll see).  I really want to
upgrade my x86 box to at least a 2.0GHz processor but don't have the money
ATM.

Maybe I'll just use the P4-2.0 systems at school.  It'll be a bit of
incentive for me to get there early. ;)
