(...) Uh, no. It's strictly POV code. Almost entirely differences and unions of boxes and cylinders. Imagine the pain of doing a spiral staircase without a loop and a difference command...now you know why there's no DAT file :) --Bram (24 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Hmm. How would a difference operation be useful for a spiral staircase? LDScript would have been useful for doing the risers. The angle is a function of Y, and LDScript has looping. That handrail would have been a pain in DAT-world, no matter (...) (24 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Duh. Of course. Doesn't POV-Ray have some kind of sweep/turn function, so you could take a rectangle (one side of pie slice) and turn it through a specified angle to generate the riser? Steve (24 years ago, 17-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
