These are a collection of some images I've rendered with POV-Ray, a public domain ray tracer. Where images are available, they're in the smaller jpeg format and the much larger, but more detailed ppm format. If you're dying to see the large images and can't render either of these, let me know.
I have no illusions that I'm other than a rank amateur at this, but it's a fun way to spend time.

This is the result of a few hours trying to familiarize myself with Stephen Chenney's sced modeller and POV version 3.1. I call it "Still Life with Orange and Martini." The sced and POV files are available as a gzipped tar file. The images were done in late May, 1999.
