Since many people have wondered several times who this Mr Tyler was, and
asked whether he was real, or even whether he was a human being, here is
a quick answer : Ken Tyler is made up of pov primitives : triangles,
spheres, cylinders etc.
This is how he was created.

Happy birthday, Ken

Technical : it turns out that I have a kentyler directory... I had
worked briefly on an image inspired by a picture Ken had posted on
January 20th, but never finished it (got bored and ran out of ideas). I
dug it up, added several elements from previous pictures. No coding at
all but occasional translates and rotates.  Poser and the Colefax/Warp
mesh compressor and deformer helped a lot.

Pfou !

That's an awesome picture, what modeller did you use for the face and the
small figure.

J'en reste le cul par terre ( I won't translate that one !)

Thanks, but it's just Metacreations' Poser. I usually don't use Poser figures
for close-up because of the strange angles (that you can see in the picture) and
other problems. For REAL good human modelling in povray, look at what Jaime
Vives Piqueres (and a few others) did with Spatch in some of his IRTC winners.

Awesome!
I was about to say that you forgot Ken's brain, but then I remembered
that it wouldn't be a mistake... ;)
Just kidding!

Well, the picture is very nice, except for the un-smoothness of Ken's
head.
The idea is great!

  Hurmmfff !!! I need no simple organic processing module like you mere
humans do. When you connect to the internet, or any other form of
electronic on line service, you are connecting to my nueral network.
  I am virtually based, both here and partialy in another dimension.
That dimention is not direcly accessable to you humans from your planet.
This explains why my problem solving powers seem to fluctuate from day
to day.
  It takes a tremendous amount of personal metaphysical strength to
keep the dimensional gateway open to you as I have been doing for
months of your time now. I am nowhere, and everywhere at once. I am all
seeing yet blind to the drudgery of mortal exsistence. I am a God
amoung men but a simple child amoung women. I am what you want me
to be, but not when you want me to be. I am no more and no less that
the sum total of all my exsistance and will not be undersole at any
price. I don't think therefore I am not !

 Beware ! Here Be Ken's ! and somes gots teeths!

Have you been overdosed with Robert Rankin and Douglas Adams, with a slight
touch of Terry Pratchett lately ??? It just seems like that...

And here I was going to suggest that if he hasn't he should read the
instructions on a toothpick box.
