What I've always loved about the DKBTrace / POV-Ray community is that 
they took what they had and ran with it to create converters and 
generators that helped reduce the effort required to create models and 
scenes.  There are lots of tools that generate spirals, trees, leaves, 
blades of grass, and tons more.  As I said, I released it to allow 
others to have fun with it as well and I'm delighted to see how that 
turned out.
