From the povray documentation
1.2.1.1 Understanding POV-Ray's Coordinate System
Does anyone know if it would be possible to obtain
the .pov source for the figure aerobics.png
illustrating handedness?
If so, where?
Thanks

I thought I might have it but after a quick search of both my own files and
online I never found anything.
I put one together tonight after seeing you asking this again. Mine
resembles the original but I changed the fingers. Anyway, it certainly isn't
the same so you'll need to keep looking if you can't use something
approximating the original.
To me, that other has the look of right hand fingers. Would be interesting
to see the SDL for it because I always wondered if it had been changed to be
the aerobics diagram by adding a thumb on the opposite side. Meaning,
whether or not it might have started as something else instead of being made
specifically for that purpose. Or just happened to be a quick scene file put
together (well, quick is a relative term as I found tonight in doing this).
Well, you probably didn't want to hear all that... Posting it at
povray.text.scene-files, so if anyone else wants to find it they can. I'll
stress the fact it's NOT the original scene file.

Thank you Bob for your answer.
You are right that the thumb in the original seems a bit awkward.
The example that you posted illustrates the point that the figure
in the manual tries to express.
Of course, the hand is schematic, robotic...
I'll play around with this to see what I can get (blobs?),
and hopefully someone might know how the original was produced.
In my experience, the best tutorials are gained starting with a
good example and understanding how they were programmed.
It would be nice to have source code for all of the illustrations
used in the manuals...

Also looking into BlobMan macros (bmhand) using blbman42
