1) Could you try to redirect some of the lighting in your renderings? Right
now, some of the pics are a bit dark and some are a bit too bright.

A result of my inexperience with Pov-Ray, I’m afraid. I’ll see what I can
do with the Pov light sources in Ldraw.

I definitely recommend LDView for these sorts of things if POV-Ray isn’t
doing it for you. The lighting is pretty direct, and you change your viewing
angle just by dragging the model around in the window. You don’t have to
deal with any numbers at all.
However, of course, POV-Ray will give you much better looking results in a
“real-life” kind of way. (Here’s a plug) Tim Courtney has a book called
“Virtual LEGO” that I was fortunate enough to pick up at Brickfest, and I’ve
already gained a wealth of knowledge from it. It has a whole section
(Chapter 16, I believe) dedicated to getting the best renders out of POV-Ray,
and covers the specific issues related to LEGO elements and lighting.
I used to just use LDView, but I’m playing with POV-Ray more now thanks to
it.

I’ll have to go find that book, then.

By the way, I like the design. It certainly has that “executive-class” feel
to it. I bet the in-flight meal is good!

Yeah, except wait, I forgot a galley...
Thanks for the compliments!
