@V00doo Gardening has no shock value as it is one of the most popular and rewarding hobbies going! I might become half-reasonable at it myself one day,
The art though - using PovRAY, or similar, with its command-line language? Or writing the entire programme from scratch?
I have a copy of an early version of PovRAY. I don't know if it will run on my WIN 11 PC but should be happy on my spare, XP computer. I have not gone far with it but did rather like its modus operandi. Though it reminded me a bit of work where we drove Hewlett-Packard electronic instruments using HP's version of BASIC, so by command-lines enclosing the measurement instructions.
