1. FYI in vector graphics.

If you need to use your Adobe Illustrator
vector graphics in POV-Ray you can do that
following these steps:

- Save that graphics either in SVG or SVGZ format
- Open file in Inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org/)
- Save as POV-Ray file (prizm object with bezier_spline)

See example in p.b.images

Inkscape can also be used as a vector drawing
program itself. It's open source freeware.


2. FYI in HDRI

'Pixel' is a bitmap editing shareware and
it supports HDR now:

Cool.  Thank you!  For both, especially (as far as I'm concerned), the first
one.

Gena,
Thanks for sharing that info. I downloaded both programs and tried them out 
some. Inkscape is really pretty cool. I think it might do for my vector 
drawing needs. Pixel looks like it has the potential to be a really good 
program, but, at least with the windows version, it is so buggy I was unable 
to do anything with it (and that's not an exaggeration). I think their final 
release is a long, long, long way off.
