Orion,

I can sympathize.  I still feel like I'm just stumbling through POV-RAY myself.

May I suggest using L3P and L3P-Add-On (in case you're not already using them)?
These help me tremendously.

As far as camera angles go, I almost never use a height of more than 22.5
degrees latitude (using the camera globe terms).  Usually, I prefer a modest 7.5
degrees.

I would suggest using these positions:

* 45 degrees longitude by 15 degrees latitude
* 135 degrees longitude by 15 degrees latitude

And, by the way, THANKS for working on the MotM/SotM, in the first place!  ;)

Franklin

(...) I'm well aware of my knowledge limitations regarding good camera position, settings, etc. I'm open to suggestions and/or training. I apologize for the way the renders turned out this month, I was hoping for a good start to the new format. (...) (20 years ago, 5-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
