I'll have to check that out, it sounds exactly like what I need.

My models come from a variety of sources, and exactly what they look 
like depends on what I am trying to show.  Some are exact models of the 
protein crystalline structure - these I import directly from protein 
modelling programs, using a utility I picked up off the net (protein 
models are essentially a series of interconnected spheres, so they're 
perfect for POV-Ray).  These I rarely want to animate, as the complex 
structures just make things confusing for the audience.  The other type 
of model I use are "idealized" models, where I make a shape which 
approximates the 3D shape of the protein in POV-ray.  These are the ones 
I usually want to "bend" as these models are used to demonstrate changes 
in protein structure.

Thanx for the idea's

Bryan
