  Povray itself has no internal support for inverse kinematics. However Moray
can use this technique using several of Pov's independent features to accomplish
inverse kinematics. You will find a good description of inverse kinematics
at this link:  http://freespace.virgin.net/hugo.elias/  You will find that this
a powerful feature if you want to model something like the movement of human
arms, legs and similar multi-part movements where everything must act together
to perform an action.
