I see perfectly well what it is and I hate it! No, not your model,
it's perfect and there lies the problem -- it reminds me of my
Manufacturing Processes exam in September :((

Really, really good modelling!

I didn't really know exactly, although I was guessing some sort of liquids
transporter/compressor.
Nice CAD drawing  ;-)

Besp submarine I've seen done in pov.

Either it's in a dry dock or you're not all that good
at doing water.

Oh, you mean one of those pointless wasteful classes that are included
in college cirriculum? (My brother had to learn Semiconductor
Manufacturing Process for ECE, which isn't that bad, and Folk Music of
the World as part of the cultural diversity political re-education that
has infected this country.

Great work! Spending enough to get AutoCad, and getting good enough to use
it, seemed like too far to go to have fun with Pov (to me). My hats off to
you.

This is the kind of stuff I enjoy doing. :) Your pov file is too large
though. May I recommend the mesh compressor? :) My latest, greatest work of
wonder came in at around 10 megs, which compressed to just over 1.5 Megs.

Yes, you may recommend it.  Check out my post in general a week or so
back... I compared file size in a bunch of different formats, and warps PCM
format was one of the smallest.  Compression was around 75%.  You can also
use Chris's hair growth macro on PCM files (very cool macro BTW).
