Tank you all for very encouraging comments !
Tony:
I'm not much into art, but I understand that
Guggenheim is an art museum. And I guess that
there is/was an artist named Guggenheim. Are
any of his/her images similar to my last image ?
If so I would be very glad if you can give me
any pointers to such images.
Marc:
I've seen some Star Trek episodes. And I think
I remember something about Borgs. But I do not
remember if they are a species or if they are
a kind of cubical starships.
Shay:
A recursive POV-macro is a macro that calls
itself with modified arguments each time.
For an example, just look at my DeCasteljau
macros in this post:
http://news.povray.org/povray.text.scene-files/23250/161948/
Or my Fact() macro in this post:
http://news.povray.org/povray.text.scene-files/22698/157269/
It's not a good macro, because it fails with
high numbers of N. (I have made another non-
recursive one that performs better.)
I've been for a walk in the mountains all day,
so I'm too tired right now to think clearly
about your other questions. I'll try to answer
them tomorrow.
Christoph:
I haven not found many free NURBS modellers.
Except for Nurbana http://www.nurbana.cx
(a project that was started in 1999 and that
seems to advance very slowly) I have not
downloaded it yet, but I'll probably have a
peek at it some day.
I too have been thinking about how to import
NURBS from files (e.g. .iges -files ?) generated
by modellers. But I cannot see how POV-scripts
can gain access to information stored in such
files.
I have found that there exists a VRML NURBS
proposal;

(But I have not had time to look at this yet
either.)
Here are two other links that may be related:

Kevin:
I have only used an XP PC once. But I cannot
remember how the XP logo looked. Is it a 3D
version of the usual window(s) flag ?
(Btw.: XP showed off a lot of black magic when
I tried to install an internal ISDN adapter on
it for a colleague of mine. So now I hope that
I never ever have to use a XP PC again.)
