  I didn't say that you absolutely can't do it, period. I said that being
able to patch povray smoothly and nicely requires years of programming
experience. Making efficient and good-quality programs is not something you
learn in a couple of months.
  Of course you can achieve something that works in a rather short time if
you just keep working and studying, but to be sincere, I doubt that the
result will be the most efficient and high-quality possible.
  It can be a good way of learning, although I think that smaller projects
could be better at the beginning.
