Nice way of combining Povray with other apps.

Thank you for saying that, Thomas!

It's especially good for partly-clouded skies :)

Is that a character from Hamtaro?

Good compositing of 2D clip art, it turned out very well.  I sometimes 
use Pov-ray like this as well, and it always feels like swatting a fly 
with a Buick, but somehow often ends up being the easiest way I know to 
get it done.

Sorry if that sounded accusatory; I was just trying to understand what 
was going on in the image.

It's cool. :-)

You know you've been raytracing too long when you're watching Bay Watch 
on the telly, see Pamela A. walking by and shout out "Great bump mapping!"

Indeed it is.

Thank you!

Lol, it does seem like overkill sometimes. When you consider the 
options, it always turns out that POV is much more configurable. You're 
not stuck with bad choices. Things can always be changed and 
experimented with. Plus, you don't have horrible refresh rates. If I had 
done this completely with Illustrator, I would have dealt with horrible 
redraw rates which would have slowed everything down. With POV I can 
just render a tiny section of the screen, or the whole screen (but 
smaller), to get an idea of what the final outcome will be. Gotta love it :)

If I came across as annoyed, it's because I've been interested in how 
people do 'toon rendering in POV, and was slightly disappointed to find 
that wasn't what this was. :-P

I get too lazy to draw cartoons by hand. ;-)

You know you've been raytracing too long when you boot your computer 
with multiple OSs to see which loads the new version of POV-Ray faster.

No, no! I didn't feel you were annoyed. Samuel's image reminded me how 
universally in a sense, POV-Ray can be made to work.

Shame on you!!  :-)
