Nice!

POV-Ray rocks so much...

(This is the first scene I've come across where you can actually see the 
individual photons. OOC, how many did you use?)

photons { spacing 0.0065 }

Much smaller than that and it runs out of memory.

Yes, I can imagine... looks like it's storing a few of them!

(Gonna be really nosy and ask how much RAM you have now. ;-)

Only about 512MB, but I let the swap grow to max addressable space... (2G)

Yeah, but... storing photons in swap space? Well that's *one* way to 
test out the speed if the arm actuator on your harddrive... ;-)

It doesn't thrash nearly as badly as, say, Windows 95 with 4MB RAM, 
though ;)

AAAARRRRGGHH!!!!!! >_<


I spent 4 years running Windows 95 on a 16MB system with a 233MHz 
Pentium I in it... That wasn't even funny. 4MB RAM... OK, I'm scared!

Myne was 100 Mhz with 48 Mb RAM. Going from 16 to 48 made a HUGE performance
improvement! It almost 
doubled the speed.
Before that, I had an Apple ][+ runing 1.024 Mhz with 48K of RAM (fully loaded) and
16K of ROM.
