This group has been manualy trimmed a couple of times becasue of the
resources it was taking up. The binaries.animations group has likewise
suffered. The News admin will eventually have to set up these two groups
with a 1 year auto expire but for the time being is doing so only when
server resources are strained.
To the best of my knowledge there is no publically available archive
of these groups available. I "think" news admin has a back up of the
server somewhere but I don't know for sure.

For a first post, that's pretty amazing. It looks
really good.

I did something like this in my post, "Inspired by PLC" in this
newsgroup, dated 5-5-00. In fact, I had Hofstadter's book in
mind when planning the scene. Also see my post the next day on
text.scene-files.

Welcome! As has been mentioned, a while back a lot of people were making
these. They're easy to make in POV, but look fairly hard to make in real
life...

The experience is valuable rather or not the macro is. If you want to learn
some advanced POVing, just sit on your ass for twelve hours a day coding
scenes and ignore any RL annoyances...

Hmm... the way the box is lighted, it's hard to tell where edges are. How
'bout instead of a red box and colored planes, a white box and white planes
with colored lights? That way the different faces of the box will be diferent
colors.

Kevin,
this is an awesome start! I remember that back then when Eric Freeman
posted about a million pictures exploring this concept, I couldln't
for the life of me do one of these. I am not sure I can now either. If
somebody cares to explain, though...
I think you should definitely look for Eric's stuff, I remember him
doing a few with Gothic-style letters (which should be quite hard,
right?)

Thanks for the info Ken.
I "hope" there is a back up somewhere.

Here is something similar that I did a few years ago for the cover of a
zine (APA-L #1743, if you couldn't guess!). Intersection of two text
objects.
This one is simply shiny, but for the actual covers I rendered about 42
different versions with different refraction values (0<ior<1) for the
Object.

| Greetings everyone.
Hello back.
This is a very intriguing image/ray trace. Now I want to do my initials!
:-)
I don't remember anything like this being shown around here before, I see
though others say a similar has so I must have missed it or it's been too
long ago or my mind is going.
A macro to do this could be useful for logos.
It shouldn't be difficult at all (so I'll try it myself too).
Bob

I remember this one but I seem to recall a different color scheme.
