At a glance, I'd have to say that this looks rather similar to the settings I'm
using (which I stole/adapted from information discussed in this thread:
http://news.lugnet.com/cad/ray/?n=1424). If your eyes can stand to see clone
MOCs, here are a few samplings: http://www.freewebs.com/orrex/ Of course, there
are no backgrounds, other than "Floor," so the effect is diminished.
I'll cut-and-paste your settings to see what I can come up with. If you'd care
to let me review the 397K pov file, please send it to my spamless email above.
Thanks again!
Dave!
