Hej there,
I am looking for an POVRAY 3.1 version that includes the SphereSweep
Extensions of Jochen Lippert. I talked to him for a 3.1 vrsion but he
had not enough time to do it. Possibly some one else did it already. So
If You Know please tell. Information for those of you who want to do it
can be find (I hope the link is still valid) at :

Thanks for your patience

Karsten

Sphere Sweeps are part of the superpatch, a beta version of which 
can be found at http://twysted.net/patchstation .  A real version 
is in the works, but I need to finish the documentation first (I'm 
about 1/4 done with it).

There are some known bugs with the superpatch.  The nastiest one 
is that it crashes if you forget to save before rendering, so it's 
not for the faint of heart quite yet.
