Remco de Korte uses it for educational purposes,

Not essential...for example, I haven't taken either of them yet.(I will
be taking Analytical Geometry and Trigonometry this year.)
However, I do expect to have an easier time with those subjects because
of my experience with POV-Ray.

It is truly a privelege to hear from Nathan Kopp, the creator of MegaPov. One
thing you may have misinterpreted is what I said about artists. When I added,
"at least that's what they call themselves," I wasn't implying that they're not
artsts but think they are. On the contrary, I see them as artists, and even they
consider themselves as artists. Oh, and to me, artists are those who make images
for non-commersial purposes (such as advertisement), for non-competitive
purposes, for non-utilitarian purposes, for non-educational purposes, but more
for the sake of creating. Pardon if I missed something.
But I would like to see an already powerful program lie Povray be more
"user-friendly," so to speak. By the way, I never really used 3D Studio Max, so
I don't know whether it has a text editor. I find it hard to believe that it
does not offer one.

I bet if a friend of mine was reading your response, he would have thought I
wrote it. I myself am a mechanical engineer turned electrical, but I'm fond of
computer science. I used to do some art also, ceramics of all things. I have a
long mathematical background, especially in multivariable Calculus and with
engineering, a lot of differential equations and linear algebra. Not too much
analytical geometry though.
I'm also interested in everything, so it's hard for me to find a hobby. I have
these temporary obsessions. It used to be, I was really into assembly programming
for graphing calculators. Then, it was bicycling, and so on. I also strive to be
the best at what I do, and to do my best. The only difference is that I'm the
younger brother, and I'm the one who's following in someone's footsteps.

gets his hands on it and you find that when you try it in your GameBoy, you
don't get any results, and believe me, I've had to do this before :-(
Finally, his parents just bought me a new one after they seen him "playing"
with it (and after I've taken it apart several times to wiggle things apart)

I've never made much money from my paintings either. (Though enough to
raise my father-in-law's eyebows) Furthermore, they've been paying me good
money for a decade or two to write business programs, and as far as I can
determine, I haven't done one worth the money yet. Raytracing is for
depiction. It appeals to anyone who likes to observe the world. Staying
close to the code is to stay close to the world.

It has a scripting feature but it is by no means reliant upon one such
as POV-Ray is.
