I think, the expression changed during the creation process, but I think
the title "Tranquility" still somehow fits...

Thanks again for the first part, regarding the second: I will.

Thank you!

Now that's an improvement the site I had hoped for: being bookmarked by someone.

(I really mean it, that's no kidding there)

I like the heart in take 2 better... I like the deeper color here but i liked
the simple un-rounded shape before... Like Jell-O squares... =]
Did you make this model or did she come from another artist... ??
Are any of the source codes posted from your animation's shown on your web
site... Very nice work here... =]

I liked it better at first, but now it sort of has more "volume", like being of
greater,
"heavier" importance.

Well, it's a Poser4 Modell, converted for POVRay, 9 MB size, so I won't
put it up for download. But I positioned her, so you might say that I was
the artist... ;)

Not yet. The animations found there are all (as of yet) made with the
Particle-System
I wrote for POVRay. It's not fully functional and finished yet, and the help
needs some
work as well, but it'll be found there (hopefully someday soon).

This is a nice picture. I checked out your website, and I too am looking forward
to checking out your particle system when it is ready.

I didn't vote when you last asked, but I like the idea of the heart.

well i think it matches the model in its smoothness but everything now days is so
round... It was a nice contrast... Not a big deal tho i suppose...

Well done all around... =]

Hope the particle work is done soon i looks promising... Keep it up... =]

Well, it looks like it's going through some final stages while I'm doing an
extensive test (in order to use it for an IRTC-entry). I've found some
missing parts, so some more coding has turned up!

This may still take some time (I guess at least a few weeks), but I'll release
a beta pretty soon, at least I hope so.
Definition of "Hope":
-still slap some code together
-slap a "little" help file (to get started) together
-create "huge" comments for scene-examples
