Does anyone know where to find "weed.inc"? I saw a link once on the pov 
site, but now I can't locate it. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I'm still pretty new to PovRay(only a few months now), but I miss 
the "glow" support for lighting that was in earlier versions. Will this 
ever come back?

Also-2, Has anyone ever thought of creating a "perspective 
overview"(thats what I would call it anyway), that would show all your 
objects relative to each other in the pov universe? That would greatly 
simplify things for us newbies who can't find our objects....LOL. This 
could be just a small window thats optional for use. It could just use 
color coded dots or something relating to objects, camera, lights, etc.
Just a thought.

There are a few plant generation macros on this server in the 
povray.binaries.scene-files and povray.text.scene-files groups, and you 
could probably find something on the POV-Ray links page:

No official version has ever supported a "glow" effect, the closest 
thing would be halo, which has been replaced with media. You might be 
thinking of the glow patch, which was written for an older version 
(3.0.x?) and part of POV-AFX (atmospheric effects). I updated and 
heavily modified that patch for MegaPOV:
http://nathan.kopp.com/patched.htm
However, it is very incomplete, and won't be included in POV 3.5, I 
suggest you use media.

It sounds like you're speaking of a preview mode...this has been 
discussed, but would require lots of modifications and would be 
difficult to make platform independant.

Christopher,
  Thanks for all the info. Micha Riser: Author of the Weed file saw my 
post on another group and let me know where to get it.
  As for the preview mode, that's just something I would have on my wish 
list. Usually I don't have problems finding my objects but there's 
always that one file that drives me nuts....LOL
  Thanks again,
Les

Hi, Can I suggest reading povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions group ? In
case of sending the same question to many groups please focus on
http://news.povray.org/3889782D.B530971F%40pacbell.net
