> You do a lot of work.

I'm sure that over the long history of POV-Ray's development, that there must be
an astronomical amount of work that was done to bring POV-Ray to the stage where
it is at.   I'm sure there have been many, many hours of long, hard, tedious
hours of drudge work and thousands of largely unseen, thankless jobs.
I'm always happy that it has continued on, and is always improving.

> Sphere_sweep - bad option.

Yeah, sphere sweep kinda sucks, I'll admit.
I presently use a sphere for the first point, and then extend a cylinder out to
every subsequent point after that.   Seems to do the job smoothly enough and I
don't get the holes / choppiness of too few spheres, or the very slow results
from using 100,000 spheres to make a "line".

> Povray - is very good. But, you are stubborn. :)

True, but that's one of their greatest strengths!  ;)

I'm sure speed is always a desire - but not at the expense of quality.   PLENTY
of others produce products where speed is top priority.   Once computing power
catches up, then there will be quality AND speed.
