IMAGE DESCRIPTION:The raytracer's nightmare !!!... :)

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:I used architect paper for creating the shape to be 'lathed'... A blurred pic for the mirror reflection... I put green glass to the edges of the planes to accentuate the deph effect... I used area lamps for the specular reflects...And i made  a lot of tests to get the right 'max_intersections' & 'max_trace_level' of 22...
I joined the .pov file, but it is not really the final one (i lost the very last one by a mistake in rm command !!)
