This is my first render in 3.5. I got quite a shock when I first rendered
the scene in 3.5 as it came out completely different to that of from MegaPOV
(I was rendering in MegaPOV because I couldn't get Moray to render straight
to 3.5) - but I suppose that's because the rad is based on a different
finish setting now. The realism isn't too good - I'm quite happy with the
texturing and lighting, but they don't have that chalky feel (maybe a
roughed up heightfield would do the job?) that a real polo has. Anyway it
was modelled in Rhino, setup in Moray and (finally) rendered in POV 3.5.
(rendered in 8m16)

They are a UK brand of mints. Probably peppermints since I can't see the
blue/green specks that mark the spearmint versions.
I'm not sure exactly what Lifesavers are, so I can't comment on any
similarity that there may be. IIRC, Polo's were originally available in
Peppermint and clear boiled sweet varieties, but they've now released all
sorts of stupid, and in some cases, disgusting flavours :)
Bye for now,
Jamie.

Really you don't have lifesavers in the UK! They look something like the
candy you rendered only the hole in the middle is smaller and the whole
candy is rounder. The classic kind is transparent and comes in various
rainbow colours, I don't care much for their flavour, too sweet and
artificial. They have also released many variants of them, including caramel
lifesavers, my fav!

I've never know a packet of fruit flavourd Polos where the entire contents
weren't stuck together, only separable by using some dangerous implement
and something heavy like a hammer or a brick:-)

Having looked at the links provided by Jon, I can say that they look
remarkably like Polo's, but seem to come in more bizarre and (in some
cases) disgusting sounding flavours :)
http://www.hancocks.co.uk/Strange.htm - look under P.
And if you're really curious, then do a search on google for 'polo mints'
and by the looks of things, you can find any number of online shops which
will ship polo's (amongst other UK foodstuffs) all over the place.
Followups set to p.o-t.
Bye for now,
Jamie.

:) Thats about right - they taste OK but always appear a bit 'skanky'.

Yeah they're the classic mint version. Lifesavers are if I can remember IMO
a tacky polo rip-off (though they may have been around longer for all I
know) from the US - I don't think they compare.....

Wonder if Uncle Joe's Mint Balls have a website, they've got
mystical/magical qualities too.

lol :) no I'm actually from Surrey (no posh jokes please) - I'm pretty sure
'skanky' is a very English word thinking on it - I don't think I've ever
heard it in any US films/tv.

We have the same word, I don't think it has the same meaning. It is most
often used to modify a word describing streetwalkers. It refers to a
disgusting uncleanlyness.

Since I don't know who Tosh is and I am not up on drug slang, I cannot
verify this.

'Skanky' in British Teenager speak means to be unclean - so I think it has
the pretty much same meaning.

A 2 second search on Google brought this up under the search "meaning of the
word skank":
http://www.matts-web.com/slang/s.htm
I've now got that page bookmarker, the home page that is.

There is a movie called Wraith staring Charlie Sheen where a couple of the
bad guys were "skank" users. I think it referred to abusing odd substances
to get high. Examples included drinking kerosene and brake fluid.
And dictionary.com offers this wonderful revelation -
skank (skngk)
n.
1. A rhythmic dance performed to reggae or ska music, characterized by
bending forward, raising the knees, and extending the hands.
2. Disgusting or vulgar matter; filth.
3. One who is digustingly foul or filthy and often considered sexually
promiscuous. Used especially of a woman or girl.

I would call myself pretty British and I've never heard the word skank to be
used for anything other than to be disgusting.

Very nice image. You can get Moray to render directly to POV 3.5 by remarking
the:
Histogram_Type=X ; NONE
This is in the MORAY.INI file. Hope this helps with one of your steps. Cheers.
