I second that!
Just out of curiosity how long did it take you to make this scene (creation time
not render time). It looks like a lot of work's gone into it.

the scene actually says "radiosity {}" because I don't know any
better - I'd consider that newbie :-)

One suggestion: The frets on a guitar get furthur apart as you go up the
neck.

but sleepers stay the same distance apart :-), the result
is a compromise/average:
#local C = StringLength / 96;
#local N = NumFrets;
#declare NextFret = function(n, l) {
(n * (l - C) + (N - n) * (l * (23/24))) / N
}
and in the loop:
#local I = 0;
#local Pos = StringLength;
#while (I < NumFrets)
#local Pos = NextFret(I, Pos);
...

Well I only use the radiosity settings in rad_def.inc, so I'm not much better!
:)
Although I fear I've been doing this too long to be a newbie...

Thanks, the basic layout was fixed well in advance, which constrained
things somewhat.

I'll talk to the band before posting a link to a higher res version,
but it'll still only render at cd-cover size at 300dpi :-)

Hrrm, most be the perspective de-emphasizing it. My current project is
actually related. It's a model of an 1890's Baldwin locomotive. I happened
to stumple across some plans, and while I may not model it prefectly (Two
reasons: One, the plans are are a rather low-res JPEG, and 2: They're
missing lots of the smaller details), I am shooting to get all the major
proportions and measurements within an inch or 4.

Pretty much flat out evenings and weekends (I have a day job) since
just after christmas, so about 2 months.

Radiosity still boggles my mind too. And, technicaly, I've been using
POV-Ray for almost 10 years! :-) I just put it in through the interface and
turn on/off the media and normal interaction thing depending on the scene. I
can't say what half those settings do.

This would be a great poster to see on zazzle.com!
