I saved it...It's in an Open Office Writer file waiting to be revived.
Of course it looks much better rendered larger, but then you'll also see plenty of room for improvement (easy enough to add other objects, stationary or in motion). If you wanted to duplicate it exactly, I should point out that while in the OpenOffice environment (Presentations) I adjusted the red in the whole scene up by 16% and adjusted the gamma down to 0.4, after creating the .gif file of it. You can also apply the filter options to it at that point; you should see what it looks like as just a charcoal drawing, and it's also quite surreal when the colors are inverted!

If i can get it to work at all i will be very pleased...I've actually never tried to make anything like that work before...So who knows?

A bit daunting the first time, and it helps to spend some time with the documentation. Just start with POV-Ray; if your AMD64 or Celeron does hyperthreading, you'll probably want to download the beta version 3.7 (for Windows), otherwise the current standard one for Windows (I see you're running XP) is 3.6, I think. It comes with some nice examples that will render as soon as you click the green run button (after clicking on the specific example .pov on one of the tabs). If that works, you should be able to cut and paste the above code in a new window; save it, and click the run button to render a single scene; make changes in color values, etc., if you want. Then follow the instructions regarding the command line options and .ini file to render 30 frames.
I'm guessing that once you've got POV-ray running, you'll soon be doing your own things and forget all about my little doodle, but take care, as it can be habit-forming. :)
BTW...to all the SETI crunchers coming in for a drink during the traditional wednesday outage...I think i was the last poster.
We let you have it.
I don't know about you..but I could murder an Ovaltine.
Hi Es! I'm hitting the hard stuff - Mountain Dew. Fizzy orange juice and lots of sugar, so the ingredients say. Don't know why it's green, but I like it. :)

You'll be buzzin' after all those chemicals. I'm intrigued to see what sort of art you'll produce after a couple of bottles of that!
