Not unless somebody does a Moray plugin for it :)

Umm... Okaay.
Mind you, you should probably be aware that net access was a main
contributing factor to why I didn't get as good a degree as I possibly
could have. Specifically a 24 hour computer lab in my honours year when
I had a key to the labs...
Bye for now,
Jamie.

I have done some demos, mostly images but a few animations...and some of
my other patches get more attention with less of a demonstration. I
think people just aren't as interested in particle systems...

Haha, it's very easy to tell that you haven't been reading
povray.binaries.animations for many months. :)
Particle systems has probably been the single most popular and active theme
in that group for a long time with several people working on systems and
lots of people waiting for the releases after having seen lots of cool
animations. I can't think of anything that has gotten more interest than
particle systems.
So my advise is that you read through povray.binaries.animations for the
past months you've been away and then revise the situation. :)

I wouldn't call that "no interest". Especially not considering the often
quite high number of responses to those threads.

On the contrary, there is an immense amount of interest. The only problem is
that we've yet to see a flawless one come out that also works fast, and is
flexible and easy to use. If you can come up with that combination, I assure
you you will see a great deal of response. I've been dying to do waterfalls,
for one thing.

In the case of Megapov Plus, I'm not sure that is the issue. I downloaded the
patch on the strength of a few stills I saw done with it, and really wanted to be
able to use it, as I liked what I saw. The problem is, not being acquainted with
the finer points of particle systems, I found the documentation of the particle
system portion of the patch difficult to follow and impossible to put into
practice. I would have liked to see some demo files and a detailed tutorial
included in the archive, because, as I said, I was really interested in some of
the effects possible with this patch.

In all fairness to Chris, he is the only person I know of working on a particle
system who has actually released his code. It is jaw-dropping to see some of the
stuff people are coming up with, but when do we get to see some source?

I guess I have wanted it to be "finished" before I released it. But I'll
look into releasing an early version sooner than planned. Right now I'm
working on my lip synch system though, and I also have some school projects
etc. that take time...

IIRC you made quite some demo scenes for it (i have 19 files here, but
maybe some are my own) and i also have a 9k text file with documentation.
I think the scenes with inter particle forces do not work, but apart from
that it does not seem to be that bad. If you have time some more detailed
documentation would be good of course.
