From the cartoon of the same name, Arnold (the football-shaped head kid, a
girl calls him) as I tried to make him yesterday.  I only see the cartoon
occasionally as the channels are changed so he's not going to be perfected
in any way.
With the talk and posting here about Arnold, the radiosity rendering engine,
I had figured I'd try this character out someday to check radiosity in
POV-Ray.  It turns out to be a fair choice of a CSG object to do that imo,
colors and all (I say this tongue-in-cheek).
3 images attached; a non-radiosity, radiosity, and non-radiosity with
post_process find_edges applied.  The file names are obvious so if they are
out of order... well, anyone can tell the difference probably.

global_settings{
        assumed_gamma 2.3
        ambient_light 1//.25 // .25 when radiosity used
        ini_option "-qr" // + for on
 radiosity{
    brightness 1.23
    count 123
    recursion_limit 1
    gray_threshold .1
    error_bound .123
    low_error_factor .246
    minimum_reuse .0123
    pretrace_start .08
    pretrace_end .001
 }
 post_process {
    posterize { rgb 20 } // separates colors
    find_edges{ 1.25, .25, .15, 2, .25, rgb 0 }
 }
}

The (point) light source was changed from bright white to orange when going
from no radiosity to radiosity so there could be better coloring since the
sky was contributing so much blue.  In other words, I haven't attached the
one without a light because it was with that blue sky and also haven't tried
a hemisphere of light sources yet.

3D toony to 2D toony.
The last one would be better if you got rid of a bit more of the color
striations, or blended them more smoothly.

Yep, I wasn't going to make one like that at all.  Then figured what the
heck, it goes with the cartoon subject.
My attempt to do a flat 2D look failed because I didn't use the right number
I guess.  Probably supposed to be posterize {rgb 1} and I used rgb 25
instead.

That white boy cRap isn't any better than the gangsta cRap.

Y'know, the phrase "will the real ______ please stand up" was around
before whats-his-name, and will be around long after he's dead and buried.

Sure, but it's still permanently marred by a connection to Eminem.

Well, if you don't like rap.. I like Slim and I hate the people suing him.
