But so Long, and Thanks.

It has been 20 years now that I have been using Pov-Ray. Unfortunately 
there is not a modeller that will work properly with it nor one in 
sight. So it is time for me to move on.

I’ve learned a lot and met people here who I would like to call friends. 
So keep the faith and have a good New Year. Even if you do cross your 
arms before the last verse of Auld Lang Syne. :P

Sorry to hear that. As always real life intervenes in getting it done.

If/when it happens, if you wish, I'll drop you an email.

regards,

Being a workaholic has its downsides ... maybe I ought to stop trying to
work Moray into what few hours of spare time I have and just take a week
off and get it done. I'd probably enjoy it and I need a break anyhow.
Might have a chat to the boss.

I would like that. Thank you.

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!
