Yes!!!

My first POV image is on the hard disk of my previous machine (486-33) in the 
bottom of a closet.  I made it in '94 using whatever version of POV-Ray that 
came with "Raytracing Creations" book.

It was a shiny ball-bearing hovering over a marble floor.  From what I remember 
the colors were waaaaaay too bright.

The oldest POV image I have on this machine was made in early 2000.

These are oldest complete POV images I can find (1992-1994), these were
rendered on the office Unix Box (486DX2) 

I would upload the .pov scripts via modem (not during business hours of
course). A daemon would check if any .pov scripts showed up in a
particular directory and would render them in the background when any
showed up, I would them pick them up in the morning. 

The Volks key and Pentium CPU were modeled with Moray

The rubic's cube was modeled by hand, it was part of a short animation
attempt where all rotations (and accumulated rotations) were generated
with QBasic. 

Fond memories and tons of hours were (and are still being) spent with this
Marvel of a program.

Hey, my first one looks very similar to yours.

Here is my first. Before that I had only done a couple of gold spheres 
on marble planes (no checkers!).

I think it was PoV 0.5 beta, and it doesn't look like "merge" had been 
invented then. I seem to remember that it took me 6 weeks to model.

What am I talking about, there is nothing wrong in this image. Hmm, 
there used to be a problem where the cylindrical part of the glass meets 
the spherical part (see attachment). This must be a new render done with 
a later version of pov.

Hi,


the first object I modelled in POV (aside from working throug the tutorial)
was a teapot egg timer. It turned out quite realistic. Then I did a teacup,
placed them together on a T_Stone11 plane and surrounded by a S_Cloud1 sky
sphere.
That was my first image.

Well, you asked for it :*)

Testing out SOR and camera focus.

My 'firsts' were never anything very interesting or complicated or artistic.
I did mostly checking out of what the program was able to do, probably for a
year. Watching lines build on the monitor screen. Remember, those were times
when our PC's worked rather slowly. I didn't even have a math coprocessor
until about 1994 sometime when I added one to my Dell 486SX. The more I see
of what others had done, compared to my meager attempts, the more impressed
I am.

I can't really determine if these two posted here are as early as I have but
they were in my Pictures\TGAs archive and dated 1994, among the earliest I
had there. Most are other peoples images or rerenders of other's scenes; and
I believe the torus+sphere is something by one of the original POV users of
the time, perhaps Dan Farmer for example. The vertex rendering hints of
being related to that but I know I started that up myself to see interacting
semi-transparent planes.

I don't even remember what my first scene was.
