LOL - absolutely.  POV is not about making beautiful images easily. 
It's about empowering people who have no ability to paint or draw to 
make art!


I personally sketch like a 4th grader - and I find that my perceptual 
mind cannot flatten itself to make a 2D image out of what is really a 3D 
object such as a face, a car, a flower, etc.

Just to emphasize: I have never seen a great piece of POVray art that 
could not have been done in far less time by an accomplished painter.

But you're right - I was joking.  Art can never be generalized enough to 
make it like my example.  It it ever did get like that, it would no 
longer be art.
