	As someone who also types everything and nearly can't draw, I have to 
disagree. POV is most definitely *not* a modeller (this doesn't mean 
that you have to use a modeller to create objects or scenes, you just 
use the tools that work best for you). POV is a rendering engine: its 
function is to take a scene description and output an image or a 
sequence of images, since a cloth simulator outputs a mesh (or a set of 
points) it has no place inside a rendering engine and should be used as 
an external tool.

	All this of course is my own personal opinion and anybody is free to 
disagree.
