As requested in povray.binaries.animations - just the .inc file,
though.

Basic usage:

Folded model:

	#include "paperplane.inc"

	object { Paperplane
		texture { ... }
	}

Animated (folding) model:

	#declare Paperplane_clock = clock;
	#include "paperplane.inc"

	object { Paperplane
		texture { ... }
	}
		

Yours,

 -- Nikodemus
