Hi guys,

Has anyone got some POV-code to render a DVD case. We're about to release a new 
software product and I want to render a graphic to stick on our website which 
makes it look like a "boxed" product.

For an example of what I mean, see the following link:

Thanks in advance.

Basicaly, it's a box with rounded sides.
Start with a plain flat box, apply an image_map with what you want to apears on it.
Along the sides, place cylinders scaled to make them almost flat.
Place spheres on the corners scaled similary to the cylinders.
Place all in an union.
Give the union a blackish pigment with some reflection and highlights.

You could use the round_box from shapes.inc, provided the edges and 
corners are the same all around.

In a DVD case, the curve is far from uniform from front to back. Relatively 
sharp near the front and back, broad in the middle. I initialy tough of using 
the Round_box() macro, then I've taken a look at an actual DVD case.
