That looks interesting-- a version of POV-Ray with built-in mesh subdivision.
(Looks like it was based on v3.6, though?) I initially thought 'Loop's Scheme'
was some kind of method or algorithm; but it's actually the name of the guy who
throught it up! I've also been reading some of the technical papers referenced
there (and the original university Math thesis on the subject.) Good stuff.

Apparently the program download is just a different version of Pov-ray's
'pvengine' file, to be substituted for the standard one. I might get curious and
try it out in some version of v3.7xx... to see what happens... ;-)
