Good point! Great shades of relativity.

Actually, the very first guess of 108 minutes is closest - almost dead-on.
15 minutes of that is parse time, however! If I turn radiosity off, it only
takes about 25 minutes. This nicely illustrates how fast meshes can be
rendered: yes folks, 'tis 100% triangles!
There's been quite a lot of comment on the darkness of the scene. I wanted
it dark, but maybe not quite this dark - I rendered it on my iBook, which
has a very bright screen compared to my office PC (perhaps I should turn it
down a bit...). As mentioned above, this image does use radiosity, and I
can just dimly make out detail in the shadowed areas on my monitor.
Up/down - I can easily add a railing below(?) the steps as well, but I'm
concerned that it might make the image too busy. I'll try it and see what
it looks like. Next job: people.
Right, I'd better get knotted ;)

Yeah, sorry. I never know what to do with backgrounds on disembodied
constructs like this... I don't want to make it too busy 'cos it distracts
from the foreground, so I just end up with something plain but non-uniform.
Any ideas?

The only idea I had was to have it lying on a table as though you just
constructed it as a toy model. but then you may not get the great dramatic
lighting that you currently have.

I see no evidence of radiousity, so I guess 30 minutes
to an hour?
Amazing pic. I like the colored lighting.
How the heck do you make this shape in POV-Ray?
My attempts at this have been ... lame ;)

There was radiosity, just very dim. As mentioned, ~25 minutes with radiosity
turned off.
> How the heck do you make this shape in POV-Ray?
It's a parametric curve:
x=sin(a)+2sin(2a)
y=sin(3a)
z=cos(a)-2cos(2a)
0 > a > 2pi
Which is the easy bit. I wrote a macro to evenly space objects in distance
rather than angle, and some macros from transforms.inc are used to align
them with the path. Each brick is an individual mesh object, selected at
random from an array of 10 with different textures. The same goes for the
steps. The handrail is a series of meshes, one per step, which are basically
square prisms...
I can post the code if anybody wants, although I've not finished tinkering
with it yet...!

In response to the darkness, here's a "daylight" version.

Terrific! Although I prefer the dark version.
It must be a terrible experience for those people condemned to walk these
stairs! I get somewhat light in the head! :-)

Please, I'd love to play with it.
