Ah, yes I've seen it and I've been meaning to at least try it out, but I
have yet to read Pov-ray's manual end-to-end let alone Megapov's. So no hdr
for me just yet. :-)

True. And I'll probably give in sooner or later, if I hold on to POV-ray
long enough. However, if as you say, downloading one takes so long, then
you have few probes. Which means you'll be reusing the same ones over and
over. If you went to the admittedly huge trouble of making a realistic
enough environment in POV, you could change significant portions of it when
needed. If done with care, it wouldn't look like you'd be reusing always the
same scene.

Thanks, but not anymore (someone named Allen just dropped the rating down).

PS.  that's ok, no worries, was nice while it lasted.  It's nice to at least
have 2 in the top 10 representing POV against the big boys.
