This is not bad at all. Excellent work on the corroded metals. May we 
have a peak at them? ;-)

How did you build the steel mesh? CSG? mesh2?

Thanks, the big object was modeled with Wings3D, the wall and the ground are CSG
and the wiring on the ground is made by a modified version of knot of... I can(t
remember where I have got this...
The metals are layered textures with some iridescence.

The wiring is made with a (slightly) modified version of celtic knot bt Mike

Of Course; I should have guessed ;-)

You know that you can set the default output in POV-Ray? In povay.ini 
add/edit the line:

Output_File_Type=N

where:
; See section 3.1.2.4.1 (Output File Type) of the Documentation for more 
info:
; S= BMP, N=PNG, T=TGA (uncompressed), C=TGA (compressed), E=openEXR 
(High Dynamic Range); H=HDR (High Dynamic Range)

I know this option exist (even in command line, no? But I don't know how change
this - see the doc!) but I always use BMP format (lazyness...).

either one of two things ... you're setting Output_File_Type to bitmap 
somewhere or you're not using 3.7 because the default (across all 
platforms) is PNG

In version 3.6.x, edit the povray.ini file to add a line with +fn.
Now, all your renders will be as PNG files.
"+fn" will also work on the command line.

Beter solution: upgrade to version 3.7RC7 where the default format is PNG.
As a bonus, irid now works correctly and you will be able to use all 
cores on a multicores computer.
