III. + IV. |
Fundamentals and Samples: "sphere", "cylinder", "cone", "torus", "box", "prisma", "sor", "plane", "text object", "Bevelled_Text" macro, "Circle_Text" macro ; unicode, "height_field", HF-macros, paraboloid, hyperboloid, regular polyhedron, "cubic", "quartic", "parametric", "isosurface", "triangle", "smooth_triangle" "mesh", "mesh2", etc.. |
 |
V. |
Here are some of my own defined objects: segment of a ring, segment of a torus, segment of object, round ring of tubes, n-gonal column + pyramid, an egg, a facetted sphere + egg, spheres formed by rings, a wireframed pyramid and a rounded pyramid. There is also a demonstration how these macros were made |

IX. |
Design of the Interior of transparent Shapes with POV-Ray
The use of "fog", "material", "transparency", "ior", "caustics", "interior", "media" and "density maps" for transparent objects like glass, fog, smoke, steam, clouds, flames, fire etc. by emission, scattering and absorption media. |
