– 759 x 610 – 2001 – POV-RayI did this eons ago, but wanted to leave it in here to remind me that POVRay is a great free application that allows for 3D object development. POVRay is a text based image application. Basically you program an image through a scripting language.
This is the script that builds ‘Object1’ (above) through the POVray compiler.
