Well, yes - I'll frequently use easily-accessible online tools and some simple
graphics programs to help me work things out, make a rough model, or verify that
what I'm doing is correct (sanity check).

I just try to not get too sidetracked with installing and learning 3rd-party
software which may or may not do what I actually want - However if it does, and
there's some source code that looks like I could translate it to SDL, or it's
open-source and we could use the code in POV-Ray's source as an internal
function, then that always seems to be the way to go.

Yep, that's them.

Same with POV-Lab.  I'm sure that there are a great many things that both
software packages can profit from, if the user bases were brought into closer
contact.

I have also been mulling over whether someone should check out this ChatGPL AI
thing, and ask it to write some POV-Ray scenes, or write known algorithms from
other languages in SDL to see what it spits out.
