<h4><a name="s02_04_05_05">2.4.5.5 </a>Any POV-Ray modellers for Mac?</h4>
<p>
(Answer by Henri Sivonen)
</p>
<p>
Yes there are. However, a text editor is still needed.
</p>
<p>
Most of the available modelers are listed on the <a href="http://mac.povray.org/" target="new">Official POV-Ray
MacOS Info Page</a>.
</p>
<p>
DOS, Windows and Linux i386 modelers can be used with an Intel PC emulator. With Mac OS X most Linux-compatible
applications with freely available source code can be compiled and then run natively.
</p>
<h4><a name="s02_04_05_06">2.4.5.6 </a>Is there any user gallery of POV-Ray images?</h4>
<p>
There are literaly hundreds of POV-Ray users galleries. Almost anybody that uses POV-Ray and has a web page has
some sort of picture gallery set up. Look for web page address's at the bottoms of the messages posted to the
newsgroup comp.graphics.rendering.raytracing and the povray newsgroups.
</p>
<p>
There are 2 places officially supported by the POV-Team. They are:
</p>
<p>
- The POV-Ray users gallery located on <a href="http://www.povray.org/" target="new">our web server</a>.
</p>
<p>
- On our private <a href="http://www.povray.org/groups.html" target="new">news server</a> (not connected with
USENET) in the povray.binaries.images newsgroup, you will find many images posted from other POV-Ray users. There are
also discussion groups, and plenty of sample code and scenes.
</p>
<p>
You should also check the <a href="http://www.irtc.org/" target="new">Internet Raytracing Competition homepage</a>.
</p>
<h4><a name="s02_04_05_07">2.4.5.7 </a>Any good heightfield modellers?</h4>
<p align="left">
Check the POV-Ray <a href="http://povray.org/links/3D_Programs/Height_Field_Modelling_Programs_and_Utilities/" target="new">links
collection on our website</a>.
</p>
<h4><a name="s02_04_05_08">2.4.5.8 </a>Any easy way of creating trees?</h4>
<p>
A program called <a href="http://free.prohosting.com/~jhubert/TreeDesigner/" target="new">Tree designer by Johannes
Hubert</a> is an excellent modelling program for trees.
</p>
<p>
There are also a several good include files for this purpose. Check out our link collection to <a href="http://www.povray.org/links/POV-Ray_Include_Macro_and_Object_Files/" target="new">Include
Macro and Object Files</a>).
