  Hey, I remember "Showbots" from when I got my first PC (end of '99) - I 
think it's what led me on to POV-Ray.  :) I know this because I was really 
impressed with John Wise' "That's Impossible" animation. Animations took 
forever to download back then... ;)


 "A Bold Adventure" (Jan 2005), and "Top Ten

   40x30 ?? Why that size? Speed?



and Shot A consisted of the censored models, rendered

   Phew! I was going to mention in my first reply that 'masks' were possibly 
used, but thought against it because it looked 'too neat'. Good job with 
what you've done there John.

    I counted 36 animations on your website. I think I'll leave the 
animations to you... Let's see double that number.   ;)
