Insert Menu Add-on for POV-Ray

.   How to start with POV-Ray:
The original program of POV-Ray is freeware and can be downloaded (compiled for all kinds of operation systems!) from the hompage of the POV-Ray organisation at www.povray.org - see section "Download".
! Update: shapes3.inc: 08-Oct-2014
! New: 08-Nov-2013: POV-Ray 3.7.0 released!
       Details see here: www.povray.org/download.
! Update: 16-Nov-2014: POV-Ray 3.7.0 Unofficial for Mac by Ivo Smellenberg.
       Details see here: megapov.inetart.net/povrayunofficial_mac/.

.  
For easy starting I have made a bundle of templates for my
Insert Menu Add-on for POV-Ray version 3.6.2/3.7 as an add-on to the original insert menu templates, also as HTML version for every OS.
Update : 30-Aug-2016,
These templates work without fixing any obscure numbers and provide some basic scenes.
This bundle is useful to speed up the fundamental understanding of how POV-Ray scene files work.

Additional sets of templates:
"shapes_lo2.zip", "analytical_g.inc" (former "shapes_lo.inc" is now integrated in POV-Ray 3.7.0 as "shapes3.inc").


.   POV-Ray Objects - Ready-made Objects for POV-Ray
Update : 24-Dec-2014
A collection of samples for objects declared in include files, ready to use in POV-Ray. Also with the according Insert Menu Add-on for POV-Ray Objects.
