Right now it just seem like I've screwed POV-Ray up :( The rad_def.inc problems started before I tampered with the file, underway, I tried to download a version from the internet (which turned out even worse) - in an attempt to get the old one (...)

     (...) Hi Niels, I recently did this tutorial as well. (...) I think I had the exact same problem. I did get it to work, and the answer was rather odd. This is the text that you are pasting into your POV file from the tutorial, correct? #version (...) (18 years ago, 2-Aug-06, to lugnet.cad.ray)

     (...) LOL! You're right, I simply forgot the FIRST rule when copying ANY code (from the internet): Always copy-paste via notepad to avoid crappy tags. Thanks a lot David, now excuse me for a while: gotta stand in the corner being ashamed of myself (...) (18 years ago, 2-Aug-06, to lugnet.cad.ray)

     (...) Thanks Niels, but the kudos go to Koyan Derudder (URL). All I did was take his work and put it in magazine format, along with a model that's easy to build. Koyan did all of the hard part, and we should be thanking him. :-) (18 years ago, 10-Aug-06, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
