You might want to look through the povray.newusers and 
povray.advanced-users groups if you haven't already. And does your 
picture have something to do with your problems with vnormalize(), 
vlength(), and vrotate()?
Is there a specific problem you are having? vlength() just returns the 
length of a vector, vnormalize() returns a vector pointing in the same 
direction, but with a length of 1, and vrotate just rotates the vector 
in the same way objects are rotated.

No reference to the picture...
Just a picture...
I am looking for a tutorial reference of the vector functions that i sew in
this group... Somewhere, someone was responding to a request and posted some
links to a tutorial or tutorials about the v_normalize and such...
No problem specific just don't have any knowledge of these functions at
all...
I was interested in the tutorials and forgot to mark them for later
reading...
I am sure it was in this group seeing this is about the only group i read
regularly...
So it would not help for me to start browsing another group, advanced or any
other...
