A simple animation of an interesting object:  
the polyhedron has 12 congruent irregular pentagons 
for faces.  The only lighting is from inside the object. 
There is slight transparency.

I'm pretty new to all this so I have one question:  
the animation is intended to loop.  But there is (in 
all viewers I have tried) a slight hesitation when it 
passes start.  I have the +KC parameter on the POV 
render line, but it still has this problem. Is there 
a way to avoid this?  Is there a viewer that runs it 
smoothly?

Nice animation. It loops fine for me on windows media player.

You may want to check to see if the first frame and the last frame are the
same rendering.  Try building your animation w/out the last frame and see
if it still skips.
