If you take a close look at the png file header, you'll find out that 
this *is* the new UberPOV :-D

PNG files, like other file formats, contain not only the actual image 
data, but also some metadata, ranging from essential information like 
image width and height, bits per pixel etc., to whatever the thing that 
generated the image thought useful to know; for instance a camera with 
inbuilt GPS might store place & time where the image was taken. This 
portion of the image file is commonly known as "file header"

POV-Ray 3.7 includes its software version in the file header, and 
UberPOV - being based on POV-Ray 3.7 - does the same.

You'll need extra software to view all the file header contents though, 
such as a hex editor.

Here is another image of my work in progress for the CGSphere site.
I've tried some new aspects of UberPov...

I would expect slight differences between the versions. A lot of things changed
from 3.6 to 3.7 and UberPov introduces new Features to make the things addressed
more easily or still possible. The micronormal approach to simulate blurred
reflection worked with 3.6 or 3.7 but it was very time consuming e.g..

But for your Image. I think you are on a good road. I like the second one much
better than the first. I do not really understand the rules of this strange
contest. They insist that one should not change the grid or it's texture (it is

is interesting. May be they accept it. I don't know. In fact I don't understand
their rules completely or how the voting works. I could not find a hint to that.
May be in the members area...

Best regards,
Michael

I like the way this is going. An excellent use of chiaroscuro
