Not really: I keep getting distracted by things to fix & improve in the 
code :-)

My 2 euro cent:

POVer tea: break in the middle of the night while POVing.

POVing: Art of using POV. Can be dangerous for mental health and transform a
        human being into a POVer. Moderate use strongly recommended.

POVer: Victim of excessive POVing.

POV-Ray: aka POV. Best ray-tracer ever ...

Coming soon: SSLT support for CSG

(Caveat: Unions of overlapping objects will probably give unexpected 
results; merge should work though.)

Definitely seeing that... attached is a pathological case.

This scene uses radiosity and photons, both of which really need to be 
turned off to get a more pleasing rendering. But the red+white checked 
pattern of the tablecloth really angers the SSLT code in this case ;)

POVghanistan: phantasmagorical raytracing paradise far beyond the sands 
of ignorance, where the clicking of drag'n'drop is never heard and only 
console-hacking CLI nerds ever find their way to. Subdivision of 
Khyberspace.

POVghan: native of POVghanistan. Tends to be long-haired, shaggily 
bearded and wearing strange headgear.

See you in Khyberspace - www.khyberspace.de
