I agree, and was just going a bit overboard with
my overzealous exaggeration...I don't have a
problem with swapping between 3d programs to
build a scene, but I do think retouching the
final render in a paint program is cheating.

Eh? Cognition failure. Burning rubber encourages
artistry?

Actually that is one thing I'd like to do; build a realistic
looking person using just primitives in POV/Moray. I just
need to work up the ambition. (And Brutus is an honourable
man.)

I'd like to see the formula for that...
...we are still talking about generating a replica of
the human body in POV, right?

I'm beginning to think isosurfaces would be the easiest way - if it was faster.
With isosurfaces it's very easy to bridge the problems you would get with blobs.

idat3d should do. At least it did for that human head 3D data on the
POV-Ray CDROM.
I am not saying it will be easy, but at least it will be sane :)

Because IMHO an iso would be the easiest way to do what you want to
do.

Easiest in what way?
To me is easier to collect the point coordinates and build a mesh (I think
:/)
And wouldn't it need muuuuch more processing power to render it using
isosurfaces?
Best regards.

Nah, simple equipotential surfaces render quite fast...
(ok, building a human being from idat3d wouldn't be that simple but... why
bother, Hamapatch is my choice :)
