I for one would be very interested in seeing the tutorial once you have
finished it.
Your work is some of the best I've seen, in any package and if I could learn
a bit and get that much closer to your level, I'd be all the better for it.

I'd say that POV isn't a commercial package but I'd also
say that it is a professional package.  The scene discription
language is powerful and for this reason POV can probably 
achieve some effects that wouldn't be possible in products
such as 3DS.  

This powerful tool in the hands of someone like HE Day is 
pure dynamite.

He said the car was modeled with blobs. Which means he coded it by hand, not a
modeler. Though I have to say my first impressions was that is was made in a GUI
modeler too!

Nope. 100% pure Pov-Ray.  Mega-Patch, that is... anyway I consider Megapatch
to be PovRay 5 :)

Hey! I just turned 18 on the 5th, so I'm in your age group too. I think Rune
is also more or less our age.
