No, not for a couple of years at least. Until then Pov will be a 
reference point. The way Moray was when I started using Bishop3D.

it in case anyone thought I had died.  There has been too many people 
not turning up in the morning. So that is me. Considerate to the end. :-)

engine. But to be honest photorealistic rendering is not so important to 
me. I am more interested in animations. I heard about PovRay when I was 
using Fractint and it mentioned that Pov could use the *.pot files 
Fractint could export. I intended to make a fly-through of one of their 
plasma fractals as it looked like a good basis for a landscape. I never 
got round to it.

That is where you and everyone else here have the advantage over me. I 
could not code my way out of a wet paper bag.
