If you can send me the files I can render them, but I have to admit
my L3P/Pov-ray experience is minimal.  I do have access to some
pretty hefty computers, though.

Does the win32 version of Pov-ray benefit from dual processors?


Do you want to take a crack at some Datsville pics?  The .pov files can be
downloaded from the geocities site:
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Fields/1864/datsville.html

Render time for me is up to 4 hrs., which really limits the number of pics I
can do.  You'll need a swapfile set up on a drive with >800 MB free (I have 1
GB free, and it worked, so maybe it needs that much, I'm not sure.)

If it works, and you'd like to help out with more pics, I could send you
camera and lookat coordinates to plug in and run.  Then it's just a matter of
converting to .jpeg and uploading to LUGNET.

LMK,
