Since we're showing things off, I made this in POV-Ray https://youtu.be/KU7V3UkRNy0

I actually made it several years ago, probably around 2007, I only re-rendered it and uploaded it to YouTube recently. I always felt there was a rather painful skill ceiling in POV-Ray. Sure, people have done some really amazing things with it, but going from something fairly simple like this to something really impressive required a level of magic and time I could never get out of POV-Ray.

In the early-mid 90s, on the Canadian children's TV channel YTV, between shows they'd air early 3D animations under the name "Short Circutz". This is definitely giving me similar vibes to some of those - this [1] in particular. Thanks for setting off my nostalgia neurons :)
