TABLE OF CONTENTS (Chapter B)
In section 7 through 12 you will learn how to use slightly more complex objects like tubes and heightfields. Besides that, you will experience the impact of blobs, raw triangles, splines and objects generated by plugins. Using these objects, you will accomplish scenes with more »freeform«-objects.
ATTENTION: This part of the POVLAB-tutorial is scheduled to be on the NET by August/96. We decided to put this overview and the written pages into the tutorial by now, so that you have a glimpse, of what's coming up. You can try out the links, though it is most likely, that you will get an "UNDER CONSTRUCTION" banner on most of the pages before August 96.
