Well thank you for the kind words Maan. You pretty much sum up my ideas this
time around for a POV Ray book. The POV Ray manual already provides a great

about using Moray as the tool for modeling since it allows one to focus on
the scene rather than the statements. Do you have an opinion on that idea?
