I'm a big fan of Dan Farmer and I'm looking for the source of image
'Blobface'. I'd like to know if someone can help me to find it.
Thank you.

I could be wrong, but if memory serves, Dan Farmer made a practice of not
releasing his source code. It was his way of retaining copyright to the
image (I think he got burned once when someone used an image of his without
consent). I'm not sure of which image you're referring to, but unless he
made an exception in that image's case, you may be out of luck.

If I do turn out to be wrong, I apologize in advance,
Darcy

I don't think it's available publicly, you'd have to contact him personally,
and from what I heard last he's been out of raytracing for a while now.

I know the image you mean, this is the comment on the POV-Ray CD-ROM about
it "Amelia Amoeba Kinda strange, I admit. A face imagemapped onto a blob.
Not much more to say, except that it's kind of fun. -Image by Dan Farmer"

Philippe,

Wow!  I am FLATTERED!  Surely didn't expect to see my name here these
days, and most certainly didn't expect I'd still have "fans",
particularily in light of the superb images I've been seeing coming from
the current crop of users.

Anyway... I don't even have the source to that image anymore.  Sorry.

Dan Farmer

Let me be the first to welcome you back.  We will expect great things from 
you, you know. :)

Good to see that not all of the "old" ones have disappeared! :-)

Heheh!  Can't trap me THAT easily, Ron.  Just visiting.
Actually, my main (computer-related) interest these days is with music.
Haven't even got POV-Ray on my computer.  But I am thrilled to see all the
interest in these newsgroups.

Yes, you still have "fans" though most of us were under the impression
that you had joined a monestary somewhere never to be seen again. Glad
you took the time to stop by and say hi.

  Lurking, eh? Is Truman with you <g>? Always nice to hear from you,
Dan. As you've seen, POV-Ray is alive and thriving.

  Drop us a line if you ever get a music page written. We'll be glad to
take a look at your latest happenings.

Hey, look who's back!  :D

Of course you still have fans, it was your work that inspired so many to try
their hand at POV-Ray in the first place!  Ah, I remember the good old days
(well, OK, only say five or six years ago really ;) when I sent my very
first email, and guess who it was to :)

Nice to see your page is still online, it still has some of the most
innovative
and imaginative work around :)

Best wishes,

Lance
