I am a new user to Pov-ray.
I have experience writing C code but not C++.
my question is this:
I am atempting to create a 3D model of an asteroid from photometric
lightcurve data of an asteroid.
Does anybody know of code available for lightcurve inversion or will i have
to try and write some myself??

Hi.

I'm not a scientist, so I have a basic question, out of curiosity: Does this
data "cover" the entire surface of the asteroid in question? Or is it
derived from just from one camera(?) angle?

Sorry I can't yet offer any useful suggestions.
