Ok, this is a comforting news ;-)

Just a quick note.
I am not correct when I say adaptive /count/. It should be adaptive
/nearest_count/ of course, for which I use the values 10, 5.
After a quick test, I see that I can get away with a much lower count
value. In general, I think I am using too high radiosity settings in my
scenes as I generally leave them at settings I consider as my defaults...

Next, with the hammer and some flying dust.

Nice composition too. It makes me want to shout out to him.

The pick model, just like the one in your most recent rendering, only less rusty
;)
My brother did happen to find me an old army spade. Great tool; the shovel part
folds back into the wooden handle, so it just barely fits into my backpack. My
prospecting toolkit now has four implements: rock hammer; shovel; flat head
screwdriver; screen (1/4" carpenter's cloth + narrow steel rods for edge
support). All that extra weight means I'm going to need a backpack frame,
though. Don't know if I should buy one or make one yet... I might go with an
Alice pack, like the ones the US military uses.

That's a shame! You've got to get out there sometime :)

Oftentimes I can get away with a max_gradient of 1 or 2. POV-Ray usually
suggests values much higher than those which are really needed.

Makes all the difference in the world. For isosurface scenes I begin with a
count of 1 and work my way up if needed, usually up to 16.
Whats up with importance sampling, BTW? I thought it would allow you to
effectively use a lower count for specified objects in a scene, but my tests
didn't seem to support that notion. It would be nice to force isosurfaces to
render with lower rad counts than other objects.
> Next, with the hammer and some flying dust.
Nice! I love the irony :)
That reminds me, just this week I was playing with Blender's smoke simulation. I
have now managed to get smoke from Blender to actually render in POV-Ray. (I
think somebody was asking about that very same thing awhile ago in p.general,
but explaining my process is probably going to require a tutorial, and I'm not
up for that right now.)

Those spades are great indeed. I had one too. It can also be fixed
perpendicular to the handle for shovelling sand rapidly.
I need to model a backpack now...

Oh well. I have done my lot of travelling over the world. Nowadays I am
just content to watch other people going places. ;-)

All the more reasons for me to get a grip on Blender. :-)

Goes together. I suppose that you are going to use Poser's cloth room.
