I recently developed a small tool for use with POV-Ray.
Its called Piper and you can get it at
www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/pines/8625
What is it?
Its a Windows application and does two things:
1.  Makes a camera path using b-spline (a smooth line) that is editable in
three dimensions and displays
the path in a 3D window.  It also comes with appropriate POV-Ray macros for
animating camera movement.

2. You can make a cylinder using the b-spline.

I don't have much time to make any help or tutorial files (Wife, job, house,
two kids & one more on the way....)
Please download the zip file and see if it works.  It may need a dll file or
two.  Let me know.  Good luck everyone, have fun and please post your
animations!!!

Mike

With a little obsessive searching I found the download at:

http://www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/pines/8625/piper/

The link at his site is incorrect.
