Looks great: it resembles a plant virus I used to work with (name: Turnip
Yellow Mosaic Virus). Only this virus particle had something like 60
equivalent blobs: 3 on each of the 20 triangles. Can you do that with
your macro? And: wouldn't this be something nice for POVChem?

The off-line reading of these newsgroups from day to day
only takes about 10-20 minutes. And I do that in the
evenings at internet cafes.
Checking for NEW posts at these newsgroups is much
more exciting than doing nothing while I'm rendering !

I would consider myself very weird if I bought
a petrol generator (or DC/AC voltage converter)
in order to be able to ray trace while driving !

The ferries don't allow any engines to be running ...
And there is something wrong with the laptop battery:
It only lasts for about 15 minutes.

I have been trying to figure out why you get associations
towards oysters ... but I still can't figure ...
But I'm happy that it gave you such strange impressions !

Hmmm ... I try to remember, but it's about 14 years
since I learned about chemistry.
Maybe the models was different back then ?

The macro can take any array of blob centres.
So if you can provide the co-ordinates for the blob
centres, then I can try to write the code for the virus.
Do you have any pictures of this interesting virus ?

Sorry. I don't know POVChem.
Is it a patch ? A collection of macros ?
Or something else ?
Please explain.

I'll try and look up some: it's more than 30 years ago I busied myself
with TYMV.

Povchem is a shareware program that takes the coordinates of the atoms of
a chemical compound and produces a code that enables Povray to render a
high quality image of that compound. I have used it only a few times to
evaluate it: I have no real use for it. see www.chemicalgraphics.com
(perhaps).
