Oops, I didn't think about that one. I'm using Pov 3.5 beta. I used Arial.ttf as
well, do I need to send that to you?

Sounds great! But I doubt I can use that for test renders, while I'm still
designing it. But if I can send my test renders there, let me know!

Thanks,

You can e-mail the renderings to jpr### [at] citywalkcoza with "Att: Gerhard" in
the subject line. Or you could post it to p.b.i....

Thanks,

It's actually a very common name here in South Africa. Apparently it's of German
origin.

BTW you can check the meaning of my pseudonym in the (Biblical) Hebrew and Greek
if you want (if you have access to the lexicons that is..)

I haven't checked out your car construction methods but the very low
hit-rates on boxes, spheres & superellipsoids suggests that the
internal bounding can be much tighter with serious reduction of render
time as a result. The license plates seems to be very expensive as
well. 

Experimenting with switching objects off leads to the conclusion that
your wheels are bounded poorly as the rest of the objects render
faster than the wheels alone!

OK, how do I stop the mosaic preview?  I tried adding +SP1 to the command 
line, but it didn't help.  Thanks
