as for the smoothness, do you mean in the gradients of color or in the
borders between the shapes?

I was referring to the smoothness of the borders.  I will worry about the
color options later...

one of the big ways to improve the refinement of your images is to select
"AA .03" along with your image size in the render size selector.
That means that it will render with anti-aliasing, which takes longer (not
much, but it is noticable) but the image will have less "jaggies" in it.

Can you explain this a little more?  What exactly is this AA .03 command and
how do I implement it?

another thing that I like to do is zoom out a little with the camera so the
image isn't cropped *right* around the figure.

I have been experimenting with moving the camera around in POV-Ray, but I am
still confused as to how to change the distance between the object and the
camera

Thanks for all your help,
