This is not a reflective sphere over a checkered plane.

It is a cube, subdivided five times using the Catmull-Clark subdivision 
scheme.  There are 6144 faces in the resulting polygon mesh, which are 
rendered as 12288 triangles in POV-Ray.

I'm rewriting my surface subdivision macros to use the Catmull-Clark 
scheme because I am updating my modeler to use faces with more than four 
vertices.  Because the number of faces in the original mesh can vary 
quite a bit, the macros have to be completely rewritten from the ground 
up, and as you can see from this pic, I don't have normal interpolation 
implemented yet.  I also don't have texture mapping turned on, either.

When these are working and I've written the .INC file export in my 
modeler to match it, the new version (v1.7, which also supports .OBJ 
file import) will be released, and then I'll start work on a posing and 
key-framing and all that.

Regards,
John
