Thanks :-)

Thats right, the actual work has to be done somewhere else :-(

Thats a very interesting idea!!!

There was a similar problem when trying to glue the crash model 
together. It consits of three parts, head, torso and legs. They all have 
so called "tags", on these there can be attached other models so it's a 
kind of "three bone" system.

I think the Pov-language with it's limitations will make it a mess to 
create a more complex bonetree. There is a lack of structures like the 
c++ "class" or "struct" which one can fill with data, access by it's 
type or link anyhow. Maybe there's a workaround...
