I added some hoses to the arm. Not too exciting, but they do coil up nicely
when the arm retracts.
There may or may not be an animation at http://members.home.net/spock19/
If there is one it is about 4MB so you want a fast connection.
ps. Didn't get any hints about why the spline extension in MegaPov doesn't
work in macros (or at least in my macros :-) so I switched to Colefax
splines instead. Much better.

I like it. It looks kind of smooth.
The light setting, the color scheme and
the finish match each other very nicely.
Well done !
May I have a peek at how you did the
textures and the light settings ?

If you're referring to the fact that you can't pass a spline{} as a macro
parameter, I reported that bug a while back, so it should be fixed in the
latest version.

Looks nice although such spring style hoses look quite uncommon. It would
be good to add some environment so the reflections look more realistic.

Thank you. I am embarrassed to say the textures and lighting are just a
happy accident. I am still at the modelling stage and haven't really given
them much thought. All standard chrome/silver textures as shipped with pov,
sometimes with a different pigment thrown in for good luck. I suspect they
will all have to change when the beast is complete and surrounded by
scenery.

In this case I was trying to #init_3d_spline with coordinate values passed
into the macro. It didn't seem to recognize them as valid points. It is
quite likely I was doing something wrong, but I couldn't figure out how to
get it working. I posted my sample code to newusers and unofficial.patches
last week.

I will keep working on it. Ideally I would allow the hoses to droop as if
under gravity instead of coiling up (or perhaps a modified coil motion
influenced by gravity). I plan to use these arms as part of a larger
construction so I think I will keep modelling in an empty environment for
now. Someday it will have scenery :-)

I think you have the physical dimensions and texturing down great. It looks very
compact, efficient, durable, modern. Like it was made in Japan. ;)
