Hello
I'm quite new to all this. Could anyone please tell me, what Ron Parker's
"SuperPatch" and other patches are, and how I can obtain them? As I
understand it, they are patches to some executables (on Win32?) to
provide some extra possibilities. If they are patches to the source code,
I'm afraid I can't use them, as I have no C/C++ compiler (and translating
all the sources to Object Pascal -Delphi- would be a wee bit too much for
me <g>).

Superpatch is a win32-Executable which incorporates many of the more
popular single patches (e.g. iso-surface, sphere-sweeps, splines,..)
have a look at it at:

Speaking of sphere sweeps -- What are the functions
the process provides ? Is it similar to using a
while loop for rotating and translating an object
or group of objects ? I've been meaning to ask this
question for a long time and keep forgetting.

A sphere sweep is a single object - not a process - that is the surface
represented by the boundary of all of the space occupied by a sphere if
it is swept along a curve. This implementation also allows you to vary
the radius of the sphere as a function of time. The result is that you
can create tubes and other such things that follow spline curves without
the limitations of tools like my torusspline macro. By varying the
radius, you could even make something that looks a bit like a baseball bat
with just a single object (though if you're not using a lathe for making a
baseball bat, you should be hit with one...)

... unless you are using a sor. :)
Actually, I have had problems with sor, so actually did use a lathe for
my baseball bat.
But back to the spherical_sweep -- one of the issues with the sweep is sometimes
the spline takes non-obvious paths to connect the points, so a little care
is needed in specifying the control points. Nevertheless, it is a wonderful
primitive, and certainly would be justified for inclusion into "standard" POV.

Is there any other source for the Superpatch? I've tried Twysted several
times over the last few days, and it seems to be quite thoroughly dead.

I was just there and was able to initiate the
download for the superpatch. I was at twysted.net
yesterday and had no problems. Ron Parker is the
person who put the patch together and frequents
these groups on a regular basis. If you can't find
his email address in one of his posts, here is the
url for his home page. He might have it posted there
of will at least have an email link where you can
talk to him about getting a copy.

Te URL should not have a www :

It works with the www (and without), on my browser, at least...
Ah the oddities of the internet.. does anyone actually understand it? (Anwser:
No)

They're both the same machine. Here's what I get from a traceroute:

It looks as though Sprintlink might have got one of their routers in a
twist. If it's still not working when I get back from my holiday I'll
get one of our networking people to have a word with them.
