Never occurred to me that you could do a negative scale -- does that
help make a mirror image of a non-symmetrical obj. in a way that merely

That sounds really interesting -- I'll have to check it out. Is the
syntax for doing a RH camera addressed in the POVray manual?
Thanks for your input, and like Daniel said, any clue how to pronounce
Bezier, or is it one of those words you've never had occasion to say
outloud, so you're no more certain than me? ;-)

Bez-ee-ur - like busier with an e. Works for me and I'm sticking with it.

Again, think about your hands: No matter how you ROTATE your right hand,
it will never be identical to your left hand. So rotating doesn't help.
A negative scaling just mirrors the object in the direction of the axis
(internally it doesn't differ at all from a regular positive scale).

What you have to do to make a right-handed camera is to, surprise surprise,
mirror the camera about an axis.

I have a feeling that this is the same as mirroring about a plane ?? If
I look in a mirror (X Y plane) all Z-values are inverted, is it not ??

Of course. Mirroring "in the direction of the x-axis" is the same thing
as "mirroring about the yz-plane". I just personally prefer to think about
it in the former way.

Interesting - does this mean French speaking Canadians and French speaking
.. French pronounce it differently?
While we're at it, how about Ballet and Fillet? Most American's don't
pronounce that right at all, at least according to my French speaking Dutch
friends. Never mind we American's probably learned to pronounce it from the
French that immigrated ...
