I'm glad somebody is using it! It seems to have worked well for your model.

It can still be pretty slow to parse. If POV-Ray supports aoi for 
arbitrary points in space someday, there might be a way to trick the 
technique into rendering a comparable result with even less parse time.

I spend waaay too much time thinking about rendering ;)

Having started CG because of my interest in art makes me wonder how my 
technical side has overridden my artistic side! I want to focus my 
attention from render features to feature renders ;)
