IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
	A girl waits for *that* phone call

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

The room and most of the furniture, etc is pov sdl.
Spiral staircase was made via a macro, which writes a (smooth) triangle mesh.
The sofa was found on renderosity.com. 
The design of the room was based upon the ‘Sunroom’, which can be found at www.thejuice.co.uk.
The grass and trees are Gilles Tran macros, www.oyonale.com.
The abstracts on the back wall are by Dan Byers http://hometown.aol.com/goofygrafx.
The phone is a slightly modified version of that found at the POV-Ray Objects Collection
The various bits of poser clothing etc were found on the web.

As always, I didn't start work on this until about 2 weeks ago and so it's not entirely finished. I've worked right up to the deadline - hence the low quality anti-aliasing and radiosity settings - the scene was rendered with radiosity_fast from rad_def.inc.

There are some pretty nasty radiosity artifacts in the scene, especially above the doorways and behind the staircase. There is also quite a hansom attack of max_trace_level between the patio doors.

Apologies for not including the source code but it's a worse mess than usual, but if you really want it, send an email
