IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

	I wanted to try out a number of Moray's features (I'd just upgraded to 2.5), and decided to try out the rotational sweeps, hence the bottle and goblets.  The window and atmosphere were inspired by the POV3 for Windows documentation.  The label on the bottle was produced using
Colorworks for OS/2, the chair model (by Timothy D. Boudreau - http://pages.map.com/~tim), 
was added at his suggestion.  

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

                 I designed most of the items separately (in Moray) to speed up test renders, and
merged the results to achieve an almost finished .POV scene file.  The halos for the candle flames
were hand-edited in and tweaked to provide a nice flame-like appearance.  A couple other things
were adjusted (filter changed to transmit for the bottle's label...) to produce the final scene, which I rendered with radiosity.

	The three lightsources in the scene (5 including the emitting halo candle flames) are 2 point lights, each right above the candle flames, and an area spotlight pointing into the room from outside the window.  

	The area light and atmosphere both contributed greatly to the render time.
