Dear Folks,

I sure would like some experienced help with media/interior/lights/fog/etc.  I
also
agree with the others that such a project would be beyond our collective
effort.
I agree that the news groups provide this "tutorial" service in a real dynamic
way.  It's like we are all in a huge study hall where the students stand up and
yell out a question then wait for another student to call out the answer.

Writting a tutorial is like doing a major term paper on top of a full class
load.  No one really has the time.  I, however, do have time, but I lack the
3.1g experience to be of any help.  This reminds me of a brief discussion in
Pascal class:  the text was written by a doctor of computer science and
electrical engineering whose writing style was not too reader-friendly.  At
that time I imagined I could write a better textbook in a style less
university-disertation and more master craftsman explaining things to his
bright journeyman assistant.

My academic background is in literature, writing, history, math and science.
If someone could feed me the POV 3.1g code examples that solve this problem or
demonstrate that technique I could write the copy to explain them.  The results
would be posted to an appropriate news group or to an existing tutorial site in
basic HTML format (no frames, no animations, no fancy fonts, no links, no java
jive).

BCNU,
Blessings,
               Brendan
