We oldies have not yet discovered tweeter ;-)

Especially the Justin Bieber one is going to be effective I am sure :-)

Aahh... how time flies! In my days I would have said Paul & Ringo need 
RC4... :-)

POV-Ray releases are like new computers: As soon as you got it, you wish 
you'd have waited a week or two to get That One Even Better Offer.

For instance, I don't think this will make it into RC4 (guess what it is...)

Isn't that the truth?
I'm sure you know that we are only having fun. :-)

Internal sub-division of meshes?

With a grain of truth though, I'm sure ;-)

Yup.

So far it works for smooth meshes where each vertex has only one common 
normal for all faces it is part of. (Or, more informally, for meshes 
without intentional creases).

Handling creases will be somewhat more difficult, as it requires 
triangle adjacency information at parse time.

Mesh boundaries pose yet another challenge.

I suppose it will be very useful for PovRay generated meshes. And could 
be used with the Iso-approximation macros.

seems checkered plane days are numbered.

Hi, What's the texture you used for the tiles? could you post it?

Is this Catmull Clark Subdivision? too cool !

I don't recall the exact settings. I'm pretty sure it used both a color
map and a bump map, both of which were certainly based on the "tiling
27" pattern.
