Can anyone here cut this scene down? It is too long for a sig as-is, I
think. What say you? Either I forget about radiosity and persue other ideas,
or forget about having a fancy sig.

I achived little more then 5 lines (still too long for me). Perhaps some other
povers make it shorter. Here is my version:

#macro T(O)(min_extent(O)*(1+y)+max_extent(O)*(x+z))/2#end#default{pigment{rgb
#macro N(Y)#local _=text{ttf"arial"chr(65+Y)1,0}object{_ translate-T(_)rotate
Y*y*90}#end 1}finish{diffuse.5}}plane{y,0finish{brilliance 0}}intersection{N(0
)N(1)}camera{look_at 3*z-1translate 1-<2,7,86>/35}background{1}global_settings
{radiosity{error_bound.05count 100low_error_factor.05}ambient_light 0}
light_source{-2+4*y 1}

I have removed some vasted spaces, changed some things for better obuscation and
recalculated some things. Also I replaced O with  _ for obfuscation but if you
leave O as in your sig then you don't need parameter O for macro T.

I think radiosity is not good idea for sig: it makes sig and render longer with
your settings. Perhaps try area_light.

Thanks. I'll keep experimenting. :)

It would be a few characters shorter if you would use rad_def.inc. And you
don't need to make macro T() just translate it. Perhaps you could also make
the light darker instead of using diffuse .5
I can't do it myself because my HD is damaged and POV won't run.

this method in signatures is like avesome rolex in images for me

I know. I leaved it mainly becouse of his TONY letters.

I got it down to five lines:

... but something decided to wrap it to ten. Just group every pair of lines
together. :-)
