And a more complex example showing how the object can be used with transparency
and media. It's not very interesting; it was designed to test out the macros.

This is revolutionary stuff, man! I could have used this macro literally
hundreds of times over the last ~eighteen (???) years! (OK, macros didn't exist
yet in POV-Ray v. 1.0...) I can't wait to experiment with this thing. Just
judging by your post, it really looks like something that should be included in
"shapes.inc." This is so cool!

Thank you :) The object's got its quirks... an edge can't be totally
sharp if the beveling is high, so it would not have worked for something
like your Metallica logo... And I'm not sure a 400-line-plus file would
ever make it into POV's official distribution. I'm not proud of the file
size :/

400 lines is not so much ... you're not a software developer, right? ;)
But maybe the object collection is a better place anyway.

Um, not a very proficient one, no. If I ever make a game, I'm pretty
sure I'll break the 400 line barrier. But dang it, every time I get
started, I find problems with whatever game engine I happen to be using.

Yeah, I'll drop it there eventually...

Useful as usual, Sam!
I see a lot of application of your macros.

I hope so :) I think I'll be rewriting the whole thing though. I might
have found a better way to do it, and there could be a chance I'll be
able to add support for truly sharp edges...
