Version 3.3 of SU2POV is now available.
SU2POV is a freeware converter to export SketchUp models to POV-Ray. It has been designed so few actions are necessary to run POV-Ray and generate images of your SketchUp models. It runs on PC and Macintosh platforms.
A new release of the LionSnake modeller is now available. The latest version includes several bug fixes and many enhancements to allow easier editing. A complete list of changes can be found on the new LionSnake website.
Not ray-tracing related, but given the POV-Ray project's home base is Australia, we'll mention the ongoing plan to introduce mandatory internet censorship by the Australian Government. The EFA has a new campaign titled "It's Time to Tell Mum" which highlights a few points that the average internet user might not realize. One of the things to be particularly aware of is that the filter will not just cover illegal material, but any "unwanted content" (quoted from Senator Stephen Conroy, Minister for Communications, Nov 11 2009).
It's not clear what "unwanted content" is to be defined as (other than it doesn't include illegal material, since that's covered separately), and given the list of sites to be blocked will be secret, it may be hard to figure out.
