has there been any consideration of including the additions made by
povman?  i actually haven't had time to use it, but at school, i've had
a ton of time to read about the renderman shading language and it seems
to be a worth while addition to the already great povray.  keep up the
good work.  pov rules!smellenbergh wrote:
