Well, I asked him to move to the side when I set up my plate camera, but
would you believe it? He simply refused! And then that other beasty came up
to me and I had to hurry to take the snapshot...
Yes, now that you mention it, it reminds of that place and period indeed...

That will take some time I am afraid. I want to put my attention on a couple
of other projects first now.

I did not note it down seriously, but while doing also other things, the
parsing and render took about 12 hours in total and in three MegaPov
sessions, on an XP Pentium D 2x3GHz

I think that I posted (on OT) that earlier in the year I saw a young woman
taking her pet Iguana for a walk in London. It was on a lead but had a harness
round its fore legs not its neck. On a more practical note when I was working at
Taronga zoo I watched the keepers move their dragon (called Tuka) out of his pen
so that they could clean the pen. It did not look an easy job but Tuka did not
seem too aggressive only annoyed that he was being moved. I don't think that
they would even notice a lead.
Your image is great but I can't see the damsel with a dulcimer ;)
As Janet said: "Clothify the palm trees ?!?!! LOL"
Nice one Steve :)

I first wanted to make a harness but laziness persuaded me to do a collar
:-)
I suppose animals in the wild or in captivity develop different behaviours.
They remain dangerous however, and a dragon's bite is definitely not a
healthy thing.

Well, it was worth the trial anyway ;-) It would need a really strong and
fast computer. Come back in 2015.

MakeTree? yes, I know, but no palm trees there and no meshes...

Indeed not! Those bacteria are an additional weapon.

I think so. I imagine that you would need to construct a mesh with several parts
so that you could give them different densities for their springiness. Computing
time - through the roof :)
Do you think that we will have Quantum PovRay by 2015?

Ideally, for the palm tree, you would need well-defined meshes for the frond
ribs and the leaves attached to them, to give them different elastic
properties. In itself that is not too difficult to achieve, even by hand,
but computing time indeed......

Between 2015 and 2020, definitely! I just consulted my private
clairvoyante.... :-)

He, he. This should go OT but I want animations with radiosity.
