In many ways this looks fun. I love the precise control and programming power of tools like this, but when I need something in real life, I never use them any more. The productivity of graphical tools is so much greater (as far as my brain works).

When I was younger I used POVray for a few small projects, but once I had access to graphical interfaces the difference in output quantity and quality was huge. I still keep tools like POVray installed, but all I ever do with them is tinker once in a while.

I remember running across POVray in the early 90's and not having a clue how to do anything more complex than a sphere with a light source.

Some artists have done some truly magical things with it: https://hof.povray.org

Oh my, thank you so much for bring back the POVray memories!
