Actually, I hope someone else will use it to generate more renders based 
on their own artistic impressions and expressions :-)

Incredibly all ancestor of all this, POVRay Mosaic plugin for Photoshop, 
which I made many years ago, was intended for simulating real technology 
of building things like ads from plastic spheres. That is, some people 
using this tech asked me if I can give them some fast preview mechanism, 
and surely my first though was of using POVRay (it was POVRay 3.0 at 
that time). Later on, I know some people used it for print output, 
redeclaring thingies from spheres to cylinders, for big headers in 
something like university newspaper.

So I hoped that this new, much more flexible incarnation of that old 
stuff, will give other people some tools for building something to 
impress others. I, on my hand, only tried to make tools flexible yet 
constructed reasonable enough to manage it. That's why I added so many 
built-in shapes and outer presets - with all this even beginners with 
minimal understanding of POVRay can easily switch things within wide 
range with minimal manual editing.
