CHeck the poser group on Renderosity, Curious labs has seen fit to post a
bit there through one of their people.  Not horribly informative, and
there's been a thread the last day or so, SR-4 (Yet another box of bandaids)
is coming out in the first part of next year.  I'm not holding my breath
waiting.

Had to laugh though, I posted a Povray pic there, got comments, very
favorable on the shapes, (primitives, nothing else) and textures (From
stones.inc)  lighting, (one area light).  Had Blobgirl giving a salute.  No
more comments after I revealed it as not a poser picture.  Reference to your
site, however.  Nice stuff Giles.

Greybeard.
