So, I started out wanting to make an architectural rendering of a castle. Sadly,
I didn't feel like making any plans and, instead, focused my attention to
creating life-sized people-things in a handy, reusable .inc file to give a
sense of scale to the castle. The first mannequin looked quite bland with his
arms stretched straight out, so I gave him some joints with come clever macros.
Anyway, now he has 19 ways of bending and I think he looks pretty cool... as for
the castle idea... well... I'll get to it.

For the display, I cranked up the area-lights and made them and the floor
reflective. People still like reflective stuff, right?

It's been a few years since I've done Povray. That's part of the reason why this
render is so half-baked. I'm surprised somebody recognized my handle, actually.
I've been working and going to school. Also, I've learned Java and C since I
was last here.

You should get back to irc.freenode.net/#povray. You're the only one with
ops!

One you meet a Scottish pig you never forget. Hoots!  :)

I hope that the school is still standing :)

There is a posable mannequin in the "FMunoz" entry in the POV-Ray Object
Collection. You could also give that a try.

I did this a while ago.

shows a part of the castle you can walk around in. I'll have to rerender the 
whole thing on my new machine and put it up there.

Feel free. :-)

Funny enough, I found my castle looked rather bland without any people in 
it, even tho I did lay out plans for it first.
