This is why I think people should expand on the idea of "source code" when 
it comes to modellers.

I'm a heavy Moray and Rhino user, so my source is often too large to 
include. However, a series of Work in Progress images, imagemaps, closeups 
of objects, textures, etc, can still demonstrate many of the tricks. Plus, 
this can be appreciated by all users. 

While we POVers are dismayed at the lack of source from the more complex 
modelers, I'm sure a lot of them regret that the POV source provided has no 
real meaning. POV source is great, but it should always be suplemented by 
more generic information.
