How the heck do I make good teardrop shapes in POV-Ray? I've tried with all manner of paired half-spheres, but I can't get the right "pinchiness" on the narrow end. I've also tried experimenting with splines and SOR formations, but I can't generate (...) (22 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi, I know this is slightly off-topic - but well worth sharing. I can't find a single reference in this forum to anim8or. This is a free and powerful 3D modeler and (this is where it gets exciting) character animator for windows. Import your Ldraw (...) (22 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)

I know this is an old discussion, but I really like Steve's idea of meta-statements to control this. What would be really cool is to have all the primitives and parts in the parts library have the meta-statements that simply turn smooth triangles on (...) (22 years ago, 11-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
