Well, with a name like that (Gympie) they probably had real trouble since no
one could run out of the way of the water ... :)

Tustin is actualy about 10 miles north of the El Tore marine base.
In Tustin itself is the Marine Air Corps helicopter division stationed
where the old WW II blimp hagers are. Both the Tustin Base and El Toro
are slated for closure very soon and local communities are scrambling
around trying to think up ways to capitolize on all of that valuable
real estate that is going to be released into their custody. There is
a very large contingent of people that would like to turn the El Toro
site into a new international airport to help relieve traffic at John
Wayne and Los Angeleus International but that is still down the road
a few years. The military has been dumping jet fuels and who knows
what else into the soil around there for over 50 years now and it has
been elevated to a superfund toxic cleanup site. I see a couple of
years at least to take care of soil remediation and detoxification
testing for all of the downstream water supplies and aquafiers.
Anyway this is about as much off topic posting I care to be envolved in.

I'm Roland Mas. I'm from the Southern part of France, although I
currently am in school in Paris.
I have used POV-Ray since it was called DKB-Trace 2.12, from the
very 1.0 on my Atari ST to the very 3.0 on the
eight-Alpha-600-MHz-4-Go-RAM I had (well, I had access to it) during
my internship. (Still waiting for the 3.1, by the way.)
I do not use any modeller. My brain is my favourite modeller. I do
not indent my code, either. Emacs does it for me. Sometimes even
bash or Perl do it for me, but I do not see it because it is piped
directly to POV-Ray.
Have fun...

Wouldn't you just pronounce it ram-ss-t? Still, I can see why trying to say
the letters "mst" together at the end would be a problem for some native
English speakers (me included ;) Still - that's one of the advantages of
the net - you don't *have* to pronounce it :)

Really? I mean Rudy is simple enough, but here in Germany most people have
big problems understanding my last name at the telephone (to them it sounds
like Welltush) and even more to pronounce my name when they read it. So "De
Ruiter" could be more of a problem than Sietse. Only French speaking persons
would propably pronounce it well.

Forget it. The French can't pronounce even one syllable of my name
correctly. I always comes out as "Siesse duh Rútèr" (Dutch phonetics).
As for "De Ruiter"... Well, it's the 'ui' thing again, eh?

sPatch? Real POV snobs model their bicubics by hand!
My upcoming IRTC entry has two objects made of bicubics, one with
176 patches and one with 200 patches, and an object made from a
lathe. I didn't even use graph paper, let alone a modeler. And
I had to bang rocks together to get the 1s and 0s, uphill both
ways in blinding snow... whoops, sorry, that'd be the geriatric
raytracing thread at the end of the hall. I'll get my coat.

A bit chilly to be running around in a T-shirt? try here, over the last two weeks we
have
had days in the mid to high 30's (celcius), and nights in the high 20's.

I'm not entirely sure how you'd pronounce ram-ss-t...
Anyway, English speakers mainly have trouble with the "ram", since it's
pronounced quite differently in Estonian. As far as I know, only Germans get
it almost right.
Many Estonians have trouble spelling it right, too: it's not your typical
Estonian name. I believe it's of Livonian origin - although I doubt that
means anything to you :)
Ahh, enough off-topic rambling for one day.

Partly joking. They're generated and manipulated by a clever series
of loops and equations, but there is still a lot of hand-tuning and
so on involved, plus the need to have a feel for how the control grid
affects a patch, and the need to correlate the grids of adjacent
patches to avoid creases. The object with 176 patches actually
only has 4 types of patches, but there are multiple instances of
each type. The 200-patch object has four different types of patches
in terms of what they do, but their locations are somewhat random
so the crease-avoidance factor comes into play.

Besides it says quite clearly in the Pov docs that Patches are beyond
the capabilites of most users and they recommend using an external
program to generate them for you. If the Pov docs say it's ok to do it
with an external program, then it MUST be considered acceptable, even
to a dedicated Pov snob !!!
I have never seen in the Pov docs where it is recommended that you should
indent your sript on the other hand.

The truth, as I mentioned a moment ago, is that I do generate them
with a program. It's just that the program is written in POV-script.

Not recommended, perhaps, but from the Language Basics section...
You may add blank lines, spaces or indentations as long as
you do not split any keywords or identifiers.
so it's okay to indent. It won't hurt a bit.

Hey, even I can't complain about the temperature. I get up at 5:30 just
about every morning and often times am on the water by 6:15, but
recently whenever I get the the boathouse it is around 45F, very
doable... especially since we don't get each other wet much anymore.

I'd like to indulge this thread with a little bit of source taken from
the POVRay Docs
#include "colors.inc"
camera {
location <0, 0, -6>
look_at <0, 0, 0>
}
light_source { <-20, 30, -100> color White }
light_source { <10, 30, -10> color White }
light_source { <0, 30, 10> color White }
#declare PLAIN_TEXTURE =
// red/white check
texture {
pigment {
checker
color rgb<1.000, 0.000, 0.000>
color rgb<1.000, 1.000, 1.000>
scale <0.2500, 0.2500, 0.2500>
}
}
// plain red/white check box
box { <-1, -1, -1>, <1, 1, 1>
texture {
PLAIN_TEXTURE
}
translate <-1.5, 1.2, 0>
}
Notice the indentation? I did not add it. Ken, take this as implicit
recommendation to indent. Perhaps we should ask the authors to add this
in.

And Jon you failed to mention that where you live near the coast it
is usually cooler because of the onshore wind flow from the ocean.
Ten miles inland and it's suntan time in the middle of February.

Hi Bob and Kelly.
P.S. I was re-doing my web space, still not through (recuring theme
there for all it seems).

True but nothing beats Michigan weather. Where else can you have it 60
degrees in the morning and by afternoon have the ground covered by snow?

A small town named Greeley in Colorado where I spent 4 years of
freezing in the winter and smoldering heat in the summer. Of
course while I was there I loved every minute of it.

Hi!
Is somebody recording this thread?
It really would be nice to see us all on a map as little red dots or
something (since pin-needles are so hard to transfer over the internet...)
to get an idea of the POV-user distribution all over the world...
Anybody out there with too much time on the hands???
Johannes.

For the French speaking, you'd propably have to write "Site-ce de
Roeuilteur" and "Rudi Velthoeuis", but then they would pronounce it more or
less right. The German and the English speakers simply CAN'T (Even if I
write "Welthöis", the Germans don't get it right. But they can pronounce
"Alm Öi" for Heidi's uncle). But then some Dutch can't even pronounce it
right ("een broodje èè met öö" <g>).

Don't forget us Dutch. We can pronounce almost everything right (this is my
serious opinion). We would pronounce Ramst like the Germans and propably
Scandinavians would. Margus Ramst "sounds" very Scandinavian to me, anyway.

I'm having a bit of trouble following all the places listed so far.
Latitude/longitude anyone?
86 degrees 52 minutes West longitude, 34 degrees 32 minutes North
latitude.
However as far as general areas, think I have a mental picture.

I used to live in the terribly named "Gympie", a town in Queensland. What
kind of a name for a town is that anyway? It came from some stinging tree I
think... How apt... Now I live a little further up along the coast, where
the sun's always out and the water's always great!

Well, actually I live higher up on the coast now. I moved up 6 months ago
and I'm slowly fitting in. Gympie was a pretty bad place to live, as the
name suggests, it hasn't really got too much going for it... The floods
were highly over-rated actually. I have some friends there still which I
keep in contact with through ICQ. Floods in Gympie are a regular thing, so
no one was surprised... The media just got a hold of the idea that it was
the worst flood in a century (well, it was), and then said it was
devastating for the town, which it really wasn't. My oldest brother who is
in London at the moment even said that he saw a short story on Gympie's
floods on Sky News!!! Now I'm living on the coastline of Australia in the
Fraser Island area. (HINT: I can see Fraser Island from here). The
sunsets are great here too. Oh yeah, and sorry to everyone that I just
disappeared over the last week or two. I'm back at school now so I don't
get much time to get on the net. Especially with the homework I'm getting
from the subjects I'm doing!!!
At least I've finished Certificate III in Arts now for Digital Art, that
should take a little pressure off. Now I've just got to contend with
English, Math B, Math C (they're the the hardest math subjects), Physics,
Information Processing and Technology (programing, artificial intelligence
etc) and Commercial Art and Design (full computer design for me, the other
people in my class have to slave away with Traditional Media, while I get to
use NT workstations ;-).
I'm lucky that the school I'm going to has huge computer orientation. The
Art computers are great. They have a network of over 250 computers in the
school with Proxy Internet access and full access to their Intranet (which I
must say needs a facelift). I've just started another large project for
Commercial Art and Design. My last project was a 30 seconder fully
generated in MAX. I've just finished the rendering of the final 720x576 PAL
TV 25-FPS version for output to video through a Perception Drive and Speed
Razor.
My newest project however is a multimedia CD-ROM career guide called
Horizonz. It's aimed at getting people of my age interested in what they're
actually going to do with the rest of their lives!!! I've only just started
doing the interface design for it. There will be 5 interfaces in the
program, all based around specific themes. It's certainly going to be a
challenge, but of course it will be really fun!!!
The other thing that has kept me from the net the last few days is my Rio
MP3 player. I've just got it and it's really cool (it's a portable MP3
player about the size of a cassette tape, actually, it's smaller).
So, in conclusion, sorry to everyone that I haven't been online much
lately!!! Over the next few days I'll be in Brisbane too so I won't be on
(at least not in news groups). I think I'll be online pretty much all day
today, I'm helping someone beta test their FTP server.
Gee, that was a pretty big message...
Lance (here to stay!!!)
