Hi all, Im new to Povray, and I think its great. I have a few quick Qs...

1) Are there any *cheap* digitizers out there for 3d models? I priced a few
upwards starting at $1200.  Maybe someone can explain why a mouse that can
move up and down would cost $1200. (I know, they are arms, but the idea is
the same as a simple x/y coord mouse, just with a z axis) No lasers or
ultrasound please. Perhaps someone has built a homemade digitizer and might
be willing to share the info?

2) Does anyone know of some websites of animation galleries? I can't say Ive
ever seen an AVI gallery before.  Id really like to see some longer length
animations.

3) And finally, can someone point me to the largest pov object collection
out there?

See, Im not much into modelling, but I do like the animation side of 3d. It
would be a really cool thing to put something really big together I think.
Is this over my head? Should i leave that to the Indutrial Light & Magics of
the world?  I dont want to do Jurassic Park, but I think a minor production
would be fun and educational. Maybe something in the space genre?
