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
