Ah, Stephen, I was afraid you would say that. However, despite sundering 
seas and Brexit, we shall keep in touch, I am certain. Once in a while I 
need your personal comments and witticism. I shall not let you go as 
easily as that. ;-)

We'll be seeing you elsewhere.  Hope all else is well or improving! :)

While I don't personally have time, I do wonder if the code/licensing is 
in a state where it could be a community project?

 Moving on after 20 years!?
Does that mean you are going to wipe POV from the computer, delete all your POV
bookmarks from your brower.
 Did you find another rendering system you like better?
I don't post here very often. But I don't think I could just move totally away
from POV. I think I've had POV on my computer for over 20 years. My computers
have changed but POV comes along.
 There are a lot of things POV can do and a lot it can't. The fun I have is
figuring out which is which. If I really wanted a good modeller for POV, I could
figure out a way to make it, with help from the good people here! Probable using
POV for testing out ideas in programing. I often do that. I just made a C++
program for making cin videos from pcx files and wav files. Also I made a POV
that makes a 256 color palette from an regular image file that is so fast the I
don't even need to made a C++ program to make it any faster.

 No matter what lays ahead I hope that you find what your looking for.
 And most of all Have Fun!

No, not for a couple of years at least. Until then Pov will be a 
reference point. The way Moray was when I started using Bishop3D.

it in case anyone thought I had died.  There has been too many people 
not turning up in the morning. So that is me. Considerate to the end. :-)


>   Did you find another rendering system you like better?


engine. But to be honest photorealistic rendering is not so important to 
me. I am more interested in animations. I heard about PovRay when I was 
using Fractint and it mentioned that Pov could use the *.pot files 
Fractint could export. I intended to make a fly-through of one of their 
plasma fractals as it looked like a good basis for a landscape. I never 
got round to it.

take offence if I am wrong.

That is where you and everyone else here have the advantage over me. I 
could not code my way out of a wet paper bag.

I kind of have the opposite problem. I can't find a modeling app that 
can be controlled 100% from a text file/script.
