Has anyone come up with fast rendering solid poligonal shapes?  What I'm 
looking for is the tetrahedron, octahedron, etc.  The ones in shapes2.inc 
are SLOW, more than 15 times slower than a sphere, for instance.  I've 
looked through the links on the POV server, but have yet to find anything I 
can use.
  The shapes need to be solid so I can CSG some numbers and/or letters into 
the faces.  Even if the shapes are just a little faster than the ones in 
shapes2.inc, I'd appreciate seeing them.  The picture I posted the other 
day called GlassSpheres.jpg was rendered in a little over an hour; 
replacing the 64 spheres with dodecahedrons and re-rendering took 17.5 
hours!!
