    Thanks! Yes, I had the more fun moments with the pencils... I did
trace like 30 different arrangements. The pen itself was a 15min job on
Wings3D, but it really came out pretty nice.

    It would be nice to have a tool specifically made to interface the
Bullet Physics library with POV-Ray, to have a more simpler process
(run the simulation, export and render). Searching for such a program on
the net I found Koppi's Playground, and also this other one which I
could not make to work on my current system (but it looks very
interesting and promising):
