I've made an elastic cube (a cubic grid of spheres connected with springs).

I've posted a version of the source to povray.binaries.scene-files. It 
basicly shows an animation of the cube falling down on a surface.

Unfortunately, the thing itself has serious "bugs". In the animation you'll 
see that the springs seem to "lose strength", which seems unnatural. 
(Render the scene and you'll see what I mean.)

Another, more serious bug is that if you rotate the cube before dropping 
it, it simply falls apart after hitting the surface. (A somewhat similar 
problem arises if you try to "pull away" one of spheres.)

Right now I don't really know the cause of these problems. Please help.
