Hello Andy Cocker from York, England.


  First off, I am a Pov snob. I don't use no stinking modeling program
to create my scenes and I don't indent my scene files like them wacky,
propeller headed, Poindexter, pocket pen pouch carrying, programmer types.

  So with that over with let me introduce myself...

  I am simply referred to around here as Ken and this suits me just fine.
I live on the west coast of North America, the state of California,
approximatly 50 miles (80.45km) south of HollyWood, approximatly 80 miles
(128.72km) north of the Mexico border, and just 10 minutes away from the
original Disneyland, home of Mickey Mouse. I'm also 10 minutes away from
some of the best beaches anywhere in the US and I live smack in the middle
of a high technology, electronics development, and manufacturing region.
It's not paridise but it sure ain't lovely downtown Bagdad either.

I am one of those propeller headed poindexter's Ken is talking about
(wasn't there that "Mr. Tyler" era a few weeks back?) who likes to
indent (apparently in a cockeyed fashion, though I must admit that
charge carries some weight...) but Ken let's me hang around because
sometimes I help him with his math, or create generally useless but neat
looking functions.  Oh...I'm currently at College going to the
University of Virginia which is located in Charlottesville, VA about 50
minutes from the capital Richmond, or 2 hours from my home in
Centreville (part of what is called NoVa or Northern Virginia).

Whoa, I see the soul of the newsgroup has answered(mr Tyler, ken, great
high lord...) so I'll just add in.

I'm currently in Helsingborg, Sweden. A very cold climate, (I'm freezing
now:-) and a very wet and windy one is characteristic for this town. I
dislike it(hate was to strong a word).
I'm basicly a coder, doing most of the langauages avaiable. I was
attracted to POV by the same reason, I could code 3D scenes in it, far
easier than doing the 3D gfx programming I had before. And, it was
interesting to use, I could tweak it really good. 
I've never liked any modeller, since they can't do what I want them to
do when I want to. Why this is, is because I don't get the time or
patience of learning any modeller good enough to become as skiled(?)
there as I am(?) in coding.

I'm a student in the university, Software engineering.

Howdy neigbor. Seems you are right next door. I'm in Tustin at the 5 - 55
freeway interchange. For you people that look at the map follow the arrow
point past the big 405 emblem up and to the right just a little bit and you
will see a town marked Tustin. The town is so small compared to the other
cities in the area I usualy don't even bother calling it by name because
most map makers ignore it's exsistance.

Constance, Germany. It's located next to the frontier of Switzerland.
(The frontier is more or less in town.) To the east, there is a lovely 
lake, where you can do some iceskating at the moment. The town itself
has some quite old buildings, because it hasn't been bombed in the last
world war, since it's too close to Switzerland.

Hi Andy

Originally I'm from Eindhoven, Netherlands, but live (and work) in Gladbeck,
Germany since 1985. Not as nice as Ken's place, but I can live with it. I
don't post a lot of images here (my current PC is way too slow to do
everything I want - but just wait a few weeks), but I'm very interested in
POV-Ray and am trying to write some utilities for it.

BTW: I'm a strong believer of indenting <g>.

Michigan that seems to attract the PoVers... I thought Virginia was for

I'm in Portland, Oregon. I've noticed the phrase "POV Snob" in this thread... I don't
consider myself a snob, I just like the challenge of doing everything in native POV
Code. I like the challenge so much that when I flew to southern California this past
weeked I worked out the pattern of the airline seat in front of me in POV-Ray.

My work with POVRay is not the best, but I think I can explain things fairly well.

My home page is usually at http://www.spiritone.com/~english and should be back up
soon.
I started to apply for a new job as a web designer, and ym personal homepage started
parsing in very strange ways so I took it down for yet another redesign.

Yeah, but at least your *first* name is easy for 'em. My name is sheer 
hell.

Most foreigners come up with the ever so funny shitse, because they can't 
get the hang of pronouncing a word unless it's in their native tongue...

Correct sound of my name would be something in the lines of 'Seetser' 
(silent 'R', like in 'er...').

Hello to you all,

Now isn't that better? There's a couple of names missing from the list..Bob Hughes,
Twyst,
and what has happened to Lance Birch?

BTW, Ken has inspired me, and although putting everything on one line is taking things
a
little too far, I have stopped indenting. I just add comments ie

sphere { <0,0,0>,1
texture {
pigment { rgb 1 }
finish {Shiny}
normal {bumps 1}
} // end texture
} // end sphere

I find that easier to read. Also, I hand code only, but I'm not a programmer ( wish I
was.
It'd make understanding macros and arrays easier )

Goodbye all,

Andy Cocker

Add another Michigander.  Dearborn Heights, Michigan.  Maybe we should
hold an International POV Conference here?  Incidentally, Northville
is west and somewhat south of Southfield, and it is also west of
Westland.  Geography is a bit odd in this area, anyway.  When we cross
the bridge to Windsor, Canada, we have to drive south!

So what is this?? Life = the imaginary random version of the answer to

Yup... I still haven't found a place to download it. And POV hasn't done
it either.

So I just figured, taht with a true random generator(not a pseudo random
generator, as in POV), with the answer to it all as a seed, and then
returning an unexisting number, it would be prett ylikely to be life,
wouldn't it ?
I just have to render it... (haven't got any good results yet)

Greg from Poughkeepsie, NY, USA.

I discovered POV through the UK mag Computer Arts.  My job involves failure analysis
and
materials engineering, both of which make use of my genetically enhanced 3-D reasoning
skills.  I was doing raytracing on my notepads before I had a computer!

My name is Jeremy Smith. I'm not a snob or any such thing....   and i am hopelessly
addicted to Moray and Povray!  (Although my lover thinks it is a waste of time *GASP*)
I
live in Gainesville Georgia, 40 miles North of Atlanta ('96 summer Olympics) I'm 21
yo,
interest include Povray (Obviously!), Music, Sci-fi/ Fantasy books, and RPGs....  as
far
as i can tell I'm the only one in the South eastern US on the NG...  but then i
haven't
read through all this thread.. :}

Well Ken, I'm guessing irvine ior Coasta Mesa but could be wrong.  I used to live in
Murrieta and commute to Santa Monica (95 miles each way) got old REAL quick.  Moved to
San
Jose, the real center of the universe, at least according to some:)  Now commute 5
Miles.
And yes Ken I am a "wacky, propeller headed,  poindexter, pocket pen pouch carrying,
programmer type!  But I think I can get along with your unprogrammed personality.  I
too
use no stinking modeling programs.

I love POV and wish I could get by with less than my normal 4 hours of sleep.  Just
don't
have as much time to play with POV.  Other hobbies are Shooting, Archery, computer
games
(DELTA FORCE), pop music and photography. So Ken quit knocking programmers or we'll
stop
writing code and you will have to raytrace with pen and paper.....

did you catch the pov typo? :) decided to leave it in after reading it and laughing.

Damn, Ken I was off by a few miles. Tustin, is the El Toro air base still there?  I
thought it
was closing down a few years ago.  Saw the Blue Angles there in '93.

Westland is West of Garden City, South of Livonia (and I96), East of
Plymouth (and I-275).  Southfield is way North and East of Livonia.
