Here's a render of some weapons of mass distraction, err., destruction. 
This is how I imagine a stockpile in somebody's basement might look.... 
although it could use some dust and cobwebs for it to really look like a 
house's basement. The rocket design is completely fictitious.

The file was written a couple months ago, but the radiosity settings 
were slower than I could deal with. I can't leave my computer on to 
render while I go away to take care of things.... we have a faulty power 
grid.

Today I fixed it by making the light coming from the door an area_light, 
not just a bright panel. This way the radiosity's recursion_limit could 
be set back down to 1. The result rendered in under ten minutes.

Questions & comments are always welcome.

Looks alot like my basement.

P.S. OSHA would site you for not having handrails on the stairway and the
fire dept. might have
something to say about the lack of fire sprinklers.

An assumed_gamma of 1 was used instead of the default.

The scene needs an Iraqi silhouetted in the doorway to really bring it 
home...
