Great idea Jake! I'm a programming novice too and believe it or not (gasp)
just getting into the POV thing. I found Brad Hamilton's camera positioning
article very useful and would like to see more along a similar line. The

Most definitely. I'd love to post a series of how-tos on POV and on
different programs as well. We just need people to write 'em.
