yep ... better seat texture (fabric) ... but maybe a tad too saturated 
on the plastic, bloom is good though

My next stage.  I added the glass for the movie to project on.  It isn't out of
focus, but the focal blur will hopefully take care of that.  The screen image
and projector beam, is a point light behing a filtered image, so it ends up
being in focus the whole length.  I would have to do some real tweaking to get a
true out-of-focus to focus projector beam.  I adjusted the skin and seat
textures a bit and added a bit of radiosity (the screen image is excluded, as I
already have that as an area light array instead).

And just ignore that guy in the next row...

It's been fun watching the progression of things ... I like the irony of 
Darth Vader watching a Star Wars movie ... nice touch!

Tooling around with my scene composition and viewing angle.  This one tries to
use the "golden mean/golden spiral" rule used for photography.

Excuse the heavy moire and poor quality, this was more for geometric
composition.

Hmm... now that I come to think of it: Shouldn't a theater scene be 
rendered in widescreen? ;-)

I actually liked your previous composition better - Vader really balanced it
out; although maybe with the camera up a little on the y-axis to see the seat
tops a bit.

Did you remove the speakers?

Yeh, I think I may move back to that.  I do want to see the seat tops a bit
though as you say so I will probably at least raise the camera a bit.

I accidentally removed the speakers.  I was stripping out repeated elements that
I can jus copy in POV for faster loading and I forgot to add the additional
speakers back in.

I hear that! I deleted all the chair cushions and arms first thing (except one,
of course). Then I UV mapped the cushions and saved out the new master UVd mesh2
(yay PoseRay) and used a nested loop to repopulate the theater with UVd seats.
Soooo much faster parsing only a single instance.

Regarding the orginal models - Geez.... I thought those guys were all high-tech
and high-dollar. Who puts /that/ many copies of an object in a scene like this
/without/ UV mapping it first?? But maybe that's part of the challenge, eh?

Cheers,
Rob
