It was povcomp.

All of the objects are modeled in lightwave of my own design. Poseray was
used to convert to povray then I just scripted the scene locations for
everything.

The wall and the table are heightfields. A very powerfull and sometime
forgotten feature of povray.

The floor is just an image map on a plane.

As for the handle it is a simple glossy wood texture from povray.

#declare Handle=
//texture{pigment {color rgb <0.1333333,0.3490196,0.3058824> transmit 0}
//        finish{phong 0.3 phong_size 40 ambient rgb <0,0,0> reflection{0
metallic}}}
