Thanks for pointing out that link, it brought back many memories.

I exchanged email with him last year - he still has an interest in POV and
fractals;)

we don't really have anything formal in terms of a definitive guide,
unfortunately.

DEFINATELY NOT the same guy! Not that I ever met him or saw a picture of
him. But somehow I'm sure that couldn't be Mike.

Actually, I'm waiting for the multi-core processor version, now that I have
a dual-core. But man!... real-time raytracing? Who'd have dreamed of it
back when we first started this stuff?

So cool! Thanks, Tor. You can bet that I'll be spending some time there
tonight!

<nitpicking>
Of course it all comes down to the *definition* of "real-time" raytracing.
If the only requirement is that the program is able to render a simple
scene at more than about 5 fps, the POV-Ray 3.6 could already do that in
a fast PC. What 3.7 does is to add SMP support (for using multiple processors)
and removing the repeated parsing. This means that more complex scenes can
be rendered at higher speeds.
It's not so much that "real-time raytracing is now possible" as more like
"it's now possible to raytrace animations with a moving camera faster than
before".

I think that you just may have found something. The "Head Spin Studios"
name seems to ring a vague bell, and anyone would have to agree that the
cup logo sure looks like Mike's style. I just shot off an email to Doug
Miller asking him if he knew anything. Perhaps a relative of Mike's?
