I was wondering if the glow feature of POVAFX could possibly be added to
the SuperPatch. I mean, all other (big) 3d packages offer some form of
glow, and media is just too slow and complex for the task. This seemed
to be such a good implementation of simple glowing. If it can't be added
could someone create an equivalent? Thanks in advance to the wonderful
programmer who does this. =)

Never say die. I like the POVAFX custom compile of POV-Ray too. How
about the Jpg thing too, you not going to mention that here as well?
Seriously, simply to be had as a optional part of the other input/output
image formats Jpeg would go well for the disk space conservative minded
and for the direct internet usability, I have to agree.
Damn us non-programmers for our inability to do our own things... but
I'll forgive us.

That has to be added too for Pete's sake. I am actually a programmer, but
Windows programming and C++ scared me away. I never did learn enough C to
really do anything. I never finished the cloth generator. My formulas were
faster, more efficient, and realistic than the ones previously implemented.
It would have been a great tool. I think with the trace() funtion I'm can
redo it in POV script. But that's last on my long list of todos. Sorry
people.

It isn't really all that complex, it's just that my math/programming hasn't
covered those areas yet. I consulted with my physics teacher, and he helped me
understand the formulas. I just have no idea how to implement them. I did take
the older code and based mine on that. It's practically identical. It just uses
simpler more realistic formulas, plus some extra adjustments. It's very good.
