oort: May you have many more such moments. (Your little experience looks like having more knowledge) 
Micheus: Thanks for the wishes. Almost recovered now: just a minor viral infection. About .pov file: If it's okay with you, I'd like to test some more. (Actually, I don't think I have the file. For tests like this I normally save as temp.wings / temp.pov / temp.png. The current "temp" will have replaced the previous one.)
I did a few tests with the "object to area light" option. Use "material emissive for povray ambient" is unselected (I forgot to turn it on again; just now remembered to check.) Other settings, incl. lights as default.
Pov-ray rendering vs screenshot, mostly.
HTH (and is not an unnecessary waste of time
)
Edit: A nice byproduct of this: Playing around with the "sections" and "slices" of the torus can give some nice frames or space-frame triangles. (And using mlabs "Move...Arrangement" should give some nice grills. Maybe even a Buckminster-Fuller dome)
