I've dreamt of making this scene years ago, but it was impossible at the 
time (the pyramid holds a light, and the light reflects and refracts off 
the spheres, causing them to glisten and shine)

Oh well done! I love the refractions - full of photons I assume? Rendertime?

These are my kind of images too ;)
Nicely done, BTW they remind me of some cool ball animations I've seen last
year.

Hello,
Very nice. This is pure POV to me. Is it possible to get a 1600X1200 
version for my desktop? If not for me, for the others? ;)
Ciao!

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.
