IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

------------------
(In first, esxcuse me for my bad English)
A simple modern pation under the spring sun... Just want to see how can I
improve myself about use of radiosity.
Unfortunately, I made this scene from April 16 to 30... no time to add better
elemets (chairs... tables.. better
textures...etc...) And no time to trace with better quality (last trace started
15hours before this IRTC ends and
70hours needed !!! so I've lowered the radiosity and AA)


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

------------------------------------------
I've tried to use some of the mlPOV particularities. especially the AOI patch
that can be impressive if you
know how to use it (not yet for me!) 
Halton Radiosity used also (at medium quality here).
I made it like an housse 'under construction' whith this nudes walls...
I used radiosity also to iluminate this scene, to recreate this "bright
shadows".
I want to thank Marc Jacquier (M_a_r_c) who's help me for the stairway and also
palms that I'll put in a futur version because 
I have no time enough to trace the final render with it (1pps) (The palm trees
he mades can be see here :
http://marc.jacquier.free.fr/thumbs.htm and all my friends on French IRC chanel
: "povray-fr" (eu.undernet.org port 6667)
and also Thierry (gRRominet) for his support.
