Very cool stuff YB. I checked out povlab.yesbird.online stuff. Well done on the
materials and viewer. That's all Java? I don't know a thing about WASM... just
checked it out.... I'd love to see your progress on that.

I'd like to push a few more scenes into animations and dust of some really old
work - now that rendering times have really drop compared to 1990's.  :)

This pump house is going to take me a few weeks to model and another month of
landscape work if I had to guess. I'm going to model a lizard as a feature
foreground object and use the pump-house structure as a backdrop.

I attached my current POV model / progress of the flywheel and mounts.
Most made with lathe or prisms with cubic or linear splines - depending on a
bevel or curve look.
