  Also the new command-line field in the main window is excellent.

Playing with crackle I made this compact (but not obfuscated) scene:

camera{location-8*z look_at 0 orthographic}#default{finish{ambient 1}}
plane{-z,0 texture{pigment{crackle metric.5 form.7*x solid color_map{[
.3,rgb<1,1,0>][.5,rgb 1][.7,blue 1]}}}texture{pigment{crackle metric.5
form.7*x color_map{[0,transmit 1][.8,rgb 0]}}}} // crackle variant #17

As for now, I think you're stuck (great CHM format!). Later,
I think more formats will be available, as was the case for
POV 3.1. Perhaps there will be a PDF or PostScript file?

Kind of reminds me of the Beings of Pure Intelligence near the end of
2001. Interesting effect.

It's incredible what you can do with the crackle pattern. The possibilities
seem endless.

Especially the PDF/PS versions (currently) take a bit of manual work.  The
final documentation will be available in more formats (maybe not with the
initial final release, but a few days later).
