do you have the documentation for pov? there is the help file and also
a .doc with the same content. i recommend printing out the entire
document and reading it. it is around 300 pages, so if you can print on
both sides, or multiple pages per sheet, you should. i just started
pov'ing about 4 months ago or so and have read the docs 4 or 5 times all
the way through. section 3 contains tutorials. there are also links to
online tutorials at the povray website. good luck.
