The texture in the first one will end up being used in the bottom image. The
top is POVRay. The bottom in XSI. The bottom one rendered in about an hour.
The top took 8 hours. Longer as I increase radiosity quality. MentalRay has
the advantage of payed programmers working 8 hours a day to make it fast.
As well has it being scanline and raytrace. The amazing thing about POVRay
is that I will be able to make the same image as XSI if I have stick with
it.
