Hi,
You know about Persistence Of Vision, POV-Ray, the oldest
ray-tracing software that runs on ATARI machines, don't you ?
You may have heard that a French research team from Lyon, used
POV-Ray, and only POV-Ray, to realize an animation film about
history of Mathematics <http://www.dimensions-math.org/> This
2 hours animation picture was a tremendous success on the WEB.
What you may not know is that the same research team from Lyon,
had the excellent idea to realize a second film. This is always
fully realized with POV-Ray, and totally free viewing.
I strongly advise you to learn and have fun viewing this second
opus <http://www.chaos-math.org/> watching the first before, if
you haven't already. This is a superb realization, that truly
demonstrate the famous quality of Persitence Of Vision tools.
You're welcome,

Wow, there is some impressive stuff there! I'm seriously thinking about
ordering the DVD.
Thanks Francois! :)

I'm using POV-Ray since a long time. I appreciate the work that
has been done for these animation pictures. I appreciate the way it
is proposed to have fun learning. The research team who realized
those films are remarkable POV-Ray experts, and also rendered with
it in a very adapted way. POV-Ray can very well render mathematics
and physical phenomenons, as a very helpful scientific tool. POV-Ray
is a good tool to visualize what could be only concepts in the mind.
And, it's free, so that films can be shared widely. Don't hesitate :-)
