Would you know how the tracing speed of Infini-D compares with the speed of POV-RAY. I realise that Infini-D has more feature and primitives BUT it seems that POV-RAY can do shiny text flybys and spheres and many of the things that ray tracing is good at so I'd be interested in the comparison. Does anyone use 3ds+POV-RAY to produce animations? Seems like you could render in 3ds, then use POV_RAY to add objects with specular reflections. Of course (?) you'd have to import the 3ds stuff into POV-RAY as flat bitmaps which might not work well for any but the simples designs. Anyone ever do this?\
