Sure, that sounds great.  :)
I think there are a lot of methods and work-flow "tricks" that are hard to come
by - and there are SO many areas in POV-Ray that have that sort of learning
curve / time investment.

And it's comparatively easy to throw some random stuff around and make it look
good vs coding up the SDL to do something within very specific parameters.
I think Archimedes was quoted as saying something about "art" vs math &
geometry.  (I have not been able to rediscover the exact quote)

Most of what I like about POV-Ray is that it blends the art and geometry, and
the deveopers and community give us one a good set of tools to bridge the two
approaches.

Thanks, Thomas  :)
All the best.
