This is my current project. It's going to be (eventually)
a 1930's style Formula 1 car. I'm basing the basic dimensions
off a 1934 Mercedes Benz W25. I decided to tackle the tires first,
as they given a sense of the basic dimensions, plus I knew they'ed
be a challenge. I'm quite happy with the way they look, not so
happy with the render times. I'm doing a very complex difference of
a torus (see attached file), and it takes rather a long time. The basic
render of a single tire with basic AA takes almost 4 minutes on my
Athlon 950.
Here two renders and a source file:

They look real! If the rest of that car matches the quality, it will be a
quite a poster!

That's my next problem. I've got to figure out how the hell I'm going to
do the body on this thing. I tried blobs, but the result was, to....
Weinermobile.
Anyone know of a good mesh/UV editor for Linux?

ppModeler or Art of Illusion come to mind.

AoI is a complete modeler/rendering system written
in Java, but can export to POV as well IIRC.

Looks great!
I haven't looked at the source file, but perhaps by using clipped_by you
could only do the intersection on a little part of the torus and then do a
#while loop and copy it around. I often prefer doing it a harder way and
getting faster render times, than the other way around.

Yeesh. Wish I'd known about that program months ago. Seems really easy to
work with, something I've NEVER felt about a poly modeler before.

Told you ;-) With Wings3D and POV-Ray you can do anything! Visit the Wings3D
forum for tips and tricks. Some people do amazing things with it.
Good luck, and remember to show us the progress of your car.

Hrrm - One issue I'm running into. When I export a model to POV-Ray, I get
really WEIRD shading that doesn't match the shape at all.

Can you show a small example?
Are you using the plugin?
I typically export to .obj and convert with Poseray.
