Actually I just wanted to comment on that first comment:

>> Ray Tracing ala POV isn't used in those movies -- it's far too slow.  And
>> POV is known for its great curves while movies use meshes.

Movies do use meshes, but because high-end programs use NURBS this isn't a
problem.  For example, programs like MAX do advanced adaptive degradation to
always generate a smooth surface.
