Excerpt from an ICQ chat I had recently, quoted without permission,
but I don't care. I didn't save this chat for obvious reasons but this
one I cut'n'pasted. The chatter's name is changed (he/she was random
anyway)
--------------------
<chatter> What the f&^% is this s*&$$# name pov-nut?
<pov-nut> Well, POV stands for "Persistence of Vision" which is my
favourite program for three-dimensional art, and nut... well, I'm a
nutcake
<chatter> &^%$, a geek! *&^( u, I'm leaving u, u r scaring me
--------------------
So tell me guys, is it really that bad, being a pov-nut?
Peter

This is rather hilarious and enlightening.
I often encounter people in the offline world who would only have made
out that word "art" there; I know, hard to believe isn't that. But
seeing that was a chat me-thinks there could have even been an ignorance
of that word as well. Maybe the person thought it was "fart" or
something typo'd. (never fear, read between the lines here and you'll
see I'm making fun of "chatter".
In answer to your question, from my point of view, you better not be or
we're all in trouble! LOL

Are you talking about a light on one side of the sheet illuminating the
the opposite side (the sheet is between you and the light, and you can
see light on the sheet)? If this is what you want, try using a bezier
patch or a mesh of smooth triangles. With these objects, light illuminates
both sides of the object.
