Actually, it was about 31 years ago when I developed DKBTrace which 
became the foundation for POVRay.

Some 15 years ago or so I developed a program called ElastoLab which did 
simulated physics.  I set it up so it could output a format that POVRay 
could input and rendered a few physics animations to post here.  I was 
chastised for spamming the group with commercial messages.


This time, I thought I'd test the waters first.  Even though I was 
involved in the early development of POVRay, this is a community group 
and I want to abide by community standards.  I don't just want to pull 
the privilege card and post things that offend people.

Thanks for understanding.
David
