Serves me right...the particle patch demos were the only ones which I 
didn't have time to test.

You are right...I could have sworn the proper syntax was #background. 
This is likely due to my messing up on the "# VarName" patch(someone 
*PLEASE* think up a name for this one, I am tired of giving an example 
every time I mention it).

Hmm, this is probably *why* I can't get the above mentioned patch to 
work...anyone want to point me to where this is done?

Heeeeey.. wait a minute...  I just downloaded the glow patch, and,
while reading the docs, I noticed a name : Marcos Fajardo, who made
the POV-AFX patch.. and suddenly, I knew I seen that name somewhere
recently, and... found : he's the guy behind the now-famous "Arnold"
renderer !!  Funny isn't it ?

(or am I the last who noticed that, as usual ?)

Anyway, I'd like to thank Chris Huff for implementing this !

Fabien.

You may not be the last to notice it, but I was pretty surprised when I 
finally found him to ask about POV-AFX 2.(*) (The web pages are pretty 
much obsolete, I ended up doing a search on his name.)
Whether or not it is funny depends on your sense of humor.

You are welcome. :-)



(*)He said he abandoned that line of research and hasn't been doing 
anything in POV since then, though he sounded interested in the Arnold 
inspired radiosity experiments being done recently. He said he was 
surprised anyone even remembered POV-AFX.

Shocking is more like it. :)

Tell him that we not only remember it, but revere it. Also, ask him to come
to the newsgroup and check out our efforts. (Maybe he could come back to POV
and work on the radiosity a bit? :)

I'm a little delighted to think that, maybe, if there was no POV-Ray to
play with at the time, maybe he would've never got that far !

So, thank who ?  Thanks POV-Ray !!

BTW, I'm currently doing experiments with radiosity, using glow
as light sources (without real lights), and it's amazing !!

Fabien.

tell him his treachery has been spotted, and he's to stop playing with fancy
3dsmax render engines, stop thinking about the money (and the stacks of it
he could sell arnold for), and come back to povray. be a man ! do the right
thing !

Wrong - everyone needs food, water, shelter etc to live - In the current state of
affairs money can only get you these things - it is not a substitute for them.

And besides, paper money has no intrinsic value.
