I had a very hard time creating a simple model for some telescope "glasses" in FreeCAD...

So, next best thing to try: OpenSCAD. And holy cow, a couple of minutes and the hour-long struggle was solved.

Now, I also discovered; sketching something in FreeCAD and then importing the DXF in OpenSCAD to rotate_extrude, is exactly what I needed!

I have to mention that I am biased - wrote a lot of PoV-Ray back in the day 😎

As a result... Or side-effect of some AMD undisclosed project,This #POVRay branch can apparently get up to 26% speed increase for some stuff provided you have an AVX512 enabled processor :

And now for the Spirit Walk refit. This one was quicker but trickier, because I already had an older version that required some subtle changes, and converting from OpenSCAD to #POVRay can bring surprises.

Finally got around to make a #POVRay version of the Iris, with an eye towards putting it on the cover of the next book.

I'm pulling up my carpet and replacing it with black and white checkerboard tile, and throwing out all my furniture and replacing it with rounded chrome shapes. That's right, my name is #POVRay.
