Bare in mind that when these were done, POV 3.5 was still a beta
test......these were only mean to be a sampler of all the shapes in the first
chapter of the POV tutorial.  I did them over 8 months ago.   Only now getting
into textures......advanced features are still to come down the road.  Want to
learn more about Macros and textures at this point.

But regardless I appreciate all the input.  Rest assured I have moved on a bit
from these samples......will post some more in the near future.
