This is THE main reason that I keep coming back to POV-Ray.  I can "doodle" in
the gui "push-me-pull-you" modelers and attempt various treatments of mesh
objects whose vertices have been generated by digitizing sensor data from the
"real" world, but POV is the only software that I'm familiar with wherein the
process of producing an image is so tightly interwoven with the process of
conceiving it. It is the only software I can "think in" to borrow Captain
Jack's apt phrase.

My long absences are most definitely RL instigated.  I'm seriously considering
not backing up the RL any more so that I'll have a good excuse for replacing it
the next time it crashes.  (I'm pretty sure that it's a hardware issue anyway.)

Best Regards,
Mike C.
