It's probably only temporary. As you might suspect, I have my fingers in far
more pies than I can ever eat in a lifetime already. I just wanted to see
some of the followup that Dave referenced when we were taping the Smalltalk
podcast yesterday, and respond to any relevant points.

That's actually a requirement for using POV-Ray, so welcome to the club :)

I'm hearing the show now and heard that bit before I read your post. I was
very surprised when my animation was mentioned! And Chris even got the
explanation exactly right.

I have to agree with Warp. POV-Ray is excellent for certain types of
procedural modelling, but calling it a modeller will be highly confusing to
most people. I love "modelling" with POV-Ray, and my recent Metal & Flowers
image is a good example of something that would have been much more
difficult and cumbersome for me to make in a GUI modeller, if not
impossible. But the most typical modelling task is modelling *characters*
and POV-Ray is awful at that. Sure you can make *something* - like I have
indeed tried myself earlier - but you have to make do with what's possible
in the program rather than what you can imagine in your head, and you can
definitely forget all about realism.
Anyway, great radio show! It was very interesting and cool to listen to. :)

Well, when I stumbled across it having just installed POVRay looking for
examples, I was ... amused. As a proxy for the audience listener, I had to
ask about it. :)

Tell me what a "banker" is, and I'll tell you what a "senior dude" is.

I know what a senior dude is I'm just amazed that they used term. Banker is a
politer way of saying self abuser.
Don't mind me I'm too old to like adults speaking like children. Groovy and hip
man. I notice that neither David nor Chris did.

I think most americans speak that way. At least that's what I can tell
from radio DJs, sitcoms and interviewers like David Letterman or Jay
Leno. :P
