I did, but I thought it was because there is a force field to keep the
city's atmosphere inside. :)

a token is an object (box, sphere, triangle ....) so if you want to car
about something, it's not realy the tokens' number but the "Peak Memory
Used" (because duplicated meshes only require a very little amount of
memory for a large number of tokens)

A token is one "syntax-unit": E.g. an operator (+-/*...), braces,
identifiers, key words, etc.
You don't have to care about it, but IMHO it's a better kind of
information than the old "................".

You should be able do to some Astro-whatever-nauts with pretty simple
modelling, because they will be pretty small. Perhaps go for the "bumpy"
look of astro-suits, golden visors (?) for the helmets and jetpacks.

Oh yeah.
There are 2 things going on in the radiosity that I don't like.
1. I think the media for the flames should cast a lot more light onto the
sides of the ships.
2. the little patches of green and orange light at the bottom seem wrong.
Here are my rad settings - sorry, try as I might all I can seem to do is
make the render take longer with no noticeable results...
---
global_settings {
assumed_gamma 0.8
ambient_light rgb .05
radiosity {
pretrace_start 0.08
pretrace_end 0.01
count 30
error_bound .5
low_error_factor 1
recursion_limit 1
normal on
media on
}
max_trace_level 5
}

I have always found "Rendering Line x of y (last line 0.01pph)" to be what I
need.
I DO very much enjoy the "You've been rendering for a like totally long
time, dude - are you sure you wanna just, like - quit?" message (California
version).

I think you should use a pretrace_end of about 0.02 or 0.04 and a
recursion_limit of 2 (take a look at rad_defs.inc for some examples)
If you want more lightning effects on your ships, you have to change
your media to get something with a saturated core ... in fact, the media
you are using seems to be something with a constant density ... you need
to have a very high density at the center of the media and a very light
density at the bounds.
The very high density of the core will enlight your ship and look more
realistic ! You should take look a this site :

Well, but you only get that when parsing has already finished. When
you're parsing some complex SDL (recursion etc.), it's IMHO really
useful to have POV-Ray give you a hint about its progress...

That is, in *theory*, impossible. I mean, it can tell you how much it
has already finished, but can't tell you how much is left. Of course,
you could just look at the clock to figure out how much it has finished. :-)
