Miss POV? Miss Blobs? Miss Smooth Mesh? Surely not Miss Icy-Surface!

Why, don't they like girls?

After a little thought of what is known to all world wide...
I thought of...
1. a toothbrush
2. a shoe
3. a key (for a lock)
4. ...?

I contend it isn't necessary to choose one or the other. You get
the best of both worlds by using both together. I regard the text
editor as a form of specialty editor, as Leveller is to
heightfields, or Poser is to human and animal forms, or Rhino
and/or sPatch is to freeforms, so the text editor is to anything
that either can't be done in modeller, or at least can't be done
as easily. The hand code I then filter back into the modelled
scene as either an INC file or an UDO (in the case of Moray).
Having a general knowledge of a good variety of modellers *and*
text editing of scenes simply gives you a fuller toolbox
to work from, IMHO.

Though I count myself as a hand coder kind of guy there are admittedly
certain things I do use a utility for. An example would be the creation
of points for a lathe object. However when it comes time for actually
scene development I much prefer the text based interface over the
GUI method.[

Have to side with you here, Ken. I also prefer using a textbased
editor (read PFE32). I have never quite got my head around those
modellers. I also use pen and paper to draw up scenes.

Uh-oh... looks like we chose a culturally-dependent icon for our
impromptu modeling contest.

I agree with your method. There is no way I could've gotten this far in
my x-wing model (see images ng) without moray, and yet when it comes
time to create an actual scene with it, there are things I will need
MegaPOV for. If you master your tools, you can't have too many.

If you have enough time, you can model everything by hand in povray. If
you do not find satisfaction in calculating distances and angles, and
looking all the time to the paper, where you have the drawing (!!!!!!!),
you should take a modeller.
