The 29th of July 2001 was the 10th anniversary of the first public release of what we now know as POV-Ray^TM. In commemoration, the POV-Team has commissioned the manufacture of a custom designed solid metal keyring that will serve as a long-term token of this event.

See what people are saying about their keyrings!

The front features the number '10', with the new official POV-Ray logo nestled within the '0' (representing the fact that we adopted this logo in our 10th year). The rear of the keyring shows an X, Y and Z axis (representing the classic POV-Ray 'handedness' diagram) surrounded by text giving the event for which the ring was commissioned. The long axis of the keyring is 4cm (1.5") in length.

The manufacturing process includes an acid-etching stage to provide an 'antique silver' finish (as in the image above). There is no enamel to scratch off or break. This item will last through many years of practical use.

Sale of the keyrings assists in covering the costs of running and maintaining this server, and of developing POV-Ray itself. The unit cost is US$15 (US$10 if purchased directly after purchasing an IRTC CDROM), plus shipping and handling. Bonus: If you order three via our below secure site, you will get one free (that is, you will only be charged for two). The same applies if you order six (you get two free), and so on, whatever the quantity. (Note that our distributors may not have the same offer if you are ordering from them).

As noted above, if you order an IRTC CDROM from us, you can receive one keyring for only US$10 (plus, you are not charged shipping and handling on it as it is packaged with your CD). All you have to do is order your CD, and afterwards submit the special keyring order form that will be presented to you.
