I've used it and would say it more translates the rays than skews them.

You might be interested in Dr. John's FieldCam macro.

Thank you all for new interesting POV-Links, But don't expect to much from the
sources given. E.g. "codeworx" (posted by Norbert) has deleted essential
parameters in his given code, which can be guest in some cases but not in all.
For older links, yielding a 404-Error (especially sites from geocities) try the
wayback-machine archive.org, many of them are still stored there.

Sorry for the short notice, but I'm running for the German parliament until the
September election. I and my party have no chance to win, but we will use it ;)

Best regards,
Michael

Unfortunately I can't vote for him -- different voting district, if I'm
not mistaken.

This seems to have some interesting scenes and animations with pov source and
ini files.
