The bow tie uses a velvet finish that I patched to an old version of
megapov.

Sure make him reflective and place him over a checkered plane and you might
have a start:-)

Sorry, I was kidding about the mascot thing.  Just thought ya'll would get
a kick out this character, or Pogo the Penguin as I like to call him.

That penguin looks very much like the lonely little cartoon one of yesteryear
to me, that's on the cutesy side to me.
POV-Ray animal mascot huh...?
Maybe a platypus.  Yeah, that's it.  Definitely a platypus.

Btw, I'm sure that's been suggested before.  Maybe back when the custom-compile
thing got going full-steam with MegaPov?

You thinking of Hoboken Penguin from the Bugs Bunny shorts?  That's where I drew
inspiration for this one - minus the top hat.

Povey Platypus - that has a nice ring to it. :)

You want POV represented by a species in which the males are equipped 
with poisonous spines?  I think there's some deep rooted fear of POV 
going on here :)

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

My penguin is NOT tux.  If I wanted him to be I would have modeled him that way.

But again I was just joking about the mascot thing...

If the POV-Team is willing, Rusty can be the mascot.

...and add a media container and for future versions probably isosurfaces,
photons and glows... :-)

8)

Yes, very good...
Also with the big mouth and I think there maybe something with the belly as well
(and the feet and...)
The surface he's sitting on is a bit yucky though.

Heh :)
I did originally intend to suggest him/her/it as a possible mascot, but I
decided he's not versatile enough to fill that post; he is just good at standing
on a checkered plane, looking melancholic... Mind you, I think he's pretty
competent at that <g>

        Cute!  Nice job on Bill.
        How did you make that floor texture?

It's an isosurface -

#declare Pigfunc = function {pigment{spiral1 1}}

#declare Funkyfloor =
isosurface {
    function {y+Pigfunc(x,-y,z)}
    threshold 0
    accuracy 0.01
    max_gradient 3.9
    contained_by {box {<-25,-4.99,-25>, < 25, 0.01, 25>}}
    texture {
        pigment {color rgb < 0.5, 0.85, 1>}
        finish {
            specular 1 roughness 0.0025 ambient .1
        }
    }
}

object { Funkyfloor translate y*-.5}
