Funny you should mention it. The modeling.inc file was what sparked the
discussion on AOL that led to the creation of POVGUI. The approach, as you can
see, is a bit different, in that the modeling.inc file seems to try and
capture all views at once in a very small file, and our idea was to
concentrate on one view at a time, and pack it with features (wireframes,
proxies, etc.). One of the great things about POV-Ray, as this illustrates, is
that there is always more than one way to do the same thing. (Note to ABX:
maybe a hybrid is possible?). BTW, I have rewritten the objects and lights as
macros, and they are much easier to handle. Look for an update soon.
