Neat!

Hi SS,
I was working with CA's longtime ago on POVray. I had the same problems that
you mention. I started to do CA's simulation in 3D and I tried to render
500x500x500 with a text file to remember the array. This strategy was
uncomputable (very too long). Then, I used java directly to produce a
parsable file with the strict minimum for povray. The simulation is done in
Java (fast) and it could be exported to POVray.
Here's some examples;

Nice, I just thought I should try to create an include file with an
external program, to see the improvement in parsing time. I modified a bit
the program I made some time ago in D for standard 2D cell automata...
parsing a 50x50x100 world in POVRay took 35s while writing a 500x500x100
include file (289MB !) with my program took 11s (0.037s for a 50x50x10
world and 43s for 500x500x500) :D
But still, it was not as fun as doing everything in POV ;)
And... well SS reminds me of not so funny things, maybe I shouldn't
capitalise the second S...

Thousand of excuses, SeeSchloss
Sometimes shortkuts (SK) produces undesirable effects. Sorry for the SS, it
was naive, and when I see those two letters together, I don't think to the
SS.

Some time ago I was more active on PovRAY, but maybe less today. I find
others programming languages more complete and effective. Everything that is
geometry related (Vector override operators - Rotations - Matrix
transformation) miss me a lot. Then, why did you switched to Exclusivly
PovRAY?
