Yes, you have to understand that pov-ray rendered images look so good (and
take so much time to be produced) because the physics of light is modeled
(hence the reflection refraction and so on and so forth) moreover when you
see a textured object (say marble) the texture is not a picture mapped on a
polygon but a 3D material texture (i.e. if you cut a piece out you'll see
the inside. Even Better if you have a wood texture and you render a statue
you have the correct wood impression)
