(...) Jaco travi's solution to downgrade is the BEST option for most people. L3PAO does not PLAY well with POV-Ray 3.5 right now. There is a way to FORCE L3PAO to play with POV 3.5 but you must manually edit some files. Search his forum for POV 3.5 (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Thanks. The links have been fixed. The 800x600 render was the original version. It's been replaced now. I did use the radiosity feature. Great as it is, radiosity will kill rendering time. The 1024x768 took 12 hr. 15 min 8 sec. Probably would have (...) (22 years ago, 20-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.starwars)

Travis, Nice! I really like the individual renders of the Tie-Pod. I had to poke around to get the link to work right from the Wallpapers page though. Did you use the POV radiosity feature?
