That works.  Long command lines with lots of pipes. ;-)

I haven't gotten to that point yet - most of what I do is just goofing
around with a modeller myself (like Moray, Blender, or Wings) just to see
what I can come up with visually.  One of these days, I'll sit down and
learn SDL properly so I can do that.

I was once an engineering student, had to learn drafting and CAD, and most
of the time that helps me.  But I mentioned "vi" because (a) it's my
favourite editor, and (b) the comment about "there's nothing you can't do

you can't do with vi or cat > file.pov for that matter, it's just a matter
of patience.

But I also think there are probably things you can't do with a modeller,
like write procedural POV code for (for example) certain types of textures.  :-)
