Your recent samples look stunning!  It does look a bit complicated to use,
however... guess I should read the documentation, though.  ;-)

Hi

I down loaded DMesh and had a quick play. It's very powerful and very
difficult to use!

The results look very good but similar to organica or other mesh modellers
which are far easier to use.

If you can make the UI friendly this program has a major contribution to
make to the Pov community.

Wonderful, and it looks like it's a key to one of the next steps
in humanoid modeling.  One minor quibble: in exactly what browser
is dark blue type on black legible?  I see it a lot on the web,
so evidently somebody is able to read it.  Not me, though.

Well, the browser didn't pick the colors for the links, just used the
defaults. If you specify one color or a background image, then you should
specify all 5.

Take a quick peek at http://www.htmlhelp.org/faq/fep/fep.html#BACKGROUND

No reason you can't be good technically and artistically at once. :-)

Seems it has been said that blue (the deep blue of default colors of
links) is not a well focusable color for the eyes and I had thought
that meant for all eyes whether or not 20/20 vision, think someone
suggested it was only the nearsighted or farsighted afflicted by this,
although perhaps more correctly, bad eye sight doesn't help at all and
dark blue (indigo?) is always the least focused of the rainbow of
visible colors; the black backgrounds make the medium blue of links
seem like indigo whereas white shows the medium blue, and I can see
white backgrounded blue fonts far better than the black backgrounded,
bad eyesight or not (glasses, you know).>

Anyone see the run-on sentance above? Wish I could've made it show up
blue ^g^

Hi, Ken. The link seems broken...

I started to do the same for that whole paragraph and backed out since
it meant rewriting it basically. Lucky for us all I didn't or there
would be less meaning to the name Ken Tyler here (if ever--- not!).
That means since you did do it... well, think we all know the rest.
