Funny, I would have sworn that you said something to the effect that
the technique could be emulated in a custom POV-Ray patch, without
suffering nearly so much in render time as having to render all those
frames seperately. As to whether this comment was made on a news
group, IRC, private email, or perhaps somewhere in the recesses of my
sometimes faulty memory - I'm not sure. If I had to guess, I think it
was IRC and you were just "thinking aloud" when you said it. It didn't
seem to be something that you put a lot of thought or work into. That
was some time ago. If I misunderstood you, or simply have the story
incorrect, I apologize.

Also, I'll be giving POV's focal blur another shot with Nieminen's
comments about the confidence value in mind. Maybe it isn't as bad as
I first thought.

Later,
Glen

No offense taken, I remember the discussion but I don't remember where
it was or how I would have done it, and I hoped maybe you did in case
I left some clues for myself there. :)
