I didn't even know about Blobman when I started working on bones.inc.  Now that
I have downloaded Blobman and stared reading through it, I can see some real
potential for combining the two.

So, yeah, my next big POVray project will be deconstructing Blobman and
reconstructing it in bones.inc syntax.  It is certainly worthwhile doing, as the
result would be easy-to-create and easy-to-animate characters.  Unfortunately my
to-do list is rather long, and that is a project that could take several months
all by itself.  It might be a while before I get around to it.
