Thanks for the link to Striscia, David . . . lots of ideas to play with in
his on-line
documentation.  Tor may be interested in his UV surface mapping macros too .

Will begin playing with this tonight . . .

I'm a newbie to this newsgroup . . . has taken me a month or so to go thru
the messages
and I am finally at the point where I am fairly well caught up and think I
know which
group to post pics, scenes & text files  to . . . sort of . . . so hope to
begin contributing soon.

Looks like a great group of very talented people . . . thanks to all for
being here.

POVray rules !!!!
