Yes, at elbows, knees, and necks,   complex textures might never look good.
I use tricks to keep away from them.

Perhaps blob-based characters will never catch on in povray.

Unless someone develops a boning system for meshes,  isn't it just as well
to animate in Poser or Animation:Master?  Why go with povray at all? Yeah, I
know there are lots of tricks that you can do in hand coding that are more
easy then when you have to do a million mouse clicks.  But if you have to go
through a headache to import that poser figure into povray, why choose
*this* headache over the other?

Is there little character animation with povray because it's just not the
right tool--  blobs are untexturable and meshes are practically unbonable?
