(www.povray.org)".
Art - painting, wordles, abstract shapes and blobs and textures, it's endless...

Home furnishings - especially with the popularity of home improvement shows -
(Love it or List it, Property Brothers, Flip Flop, House Hunters....) POV-Ray
has wood, granite, marble, tiling, landscaping plants, animation, etc.
Anatomy and Biology
Math - this is a natural, considering the nature of computer graphics, SDL,
Friederich Lohmueller's site, Mike Williams' Isosurfaces, many others, and the
fact that not one but TWO 2-hour movies (Chaos and Dimensions) exist
Computers graphics
Programming - write a solution - but, "gosh, I only know how to do that in
SDL..." "I have a file to do that, but it's a .pov, .mcr, .inc ...."
Optics
Lasers
Finite Element Analysis
Civil Engineering - I've seen several people working on city-building macros
Science Fiction
Find some niche or "movement" or fad, and post interest-related images that
would be hard to create otherwise. "Wow! How'd you _DO_ that??!!" "POV-Ray."
Astronomy
Meteorology
Geological surveying
Fluid dynamics
Mechanical engineering
