I'm Roland Mas.  I'm from the Southern part of France, although I
currently am in school in Paris.

  I have used POV-Ray since it was called DKB-Trace 2.12, from the
very 1.0 on my Atari ST to the very 3.0 on the
eight-Alpha-600-MHz-4-Go-RAM I had (well, I had access to it) during
my internship.  (Still waiting for the 3.1, by the way.)

  I do not use any modeller.  My brain is my favourite modeller.  I do
not indent my code, either.  Emacs does it for me.  Sometimes even
bash or Perl do it for me, but I do not see it because it is piped
directly to POV-Ray.

  Have fun...

Roland.

Wouldn't you just pronounce it ram-ss-t? Still, I can see why trying to say
the letters "mst" together at the end  would be a problem for some native
English speakers (me included ;)  Still - that's one of the advantages of
the net - you don't *have* to pronounce it :)

I think that the 'mst' isn't the problem. It's the 'a'...

Really? I mean Rudy is simple enough, but here in Germany most people have
big problems understanding my last name at the telephone (to them it sounds
like Welltush) and even more to pronounce my name when they read it. So "De
Ruiter" could be more of a problem than Sietse. Only French speaking persons
would propably pronounce it well.

Forget it. The French can't pronounce even one syllable of my name 


As for "De Ruiter"... Well, it's the 'ui' thing again, eh?

sPatch?  Real POV snobs model their bicubics by hand! 

My upcoming IRTC entry has two objects made of bicubics, one with 
176 patches and one with 200 patches, and an object made from a
lathe.  I didn't even use graph paper, let alone a modeler.  And
I had to bang rocks together to get the 1s and 0s, uphill both 
ways in blinding snow...  whoops, sorry, that'd be the geriatric
raytracing thread at the end of the hall.  I'll get my coat.

I'm in Durbanville, South Africa (look somewhere on the south western 
part of a map of SA and you may be lucky and find it ;-p ).

I've been lurking here for quite some time, make the odd post now and 
then. I fiddle around with POV when I get some time (which is not often, 
unfortunately)
