My first experience with POV-Ray happened around 1994 or 1995 on the Amiga when I found a copy of it on what I recall was a CD that came with an issue of Amiga Format. The raytracer was dreadfully slow on my 50 MHz 68030 compared to Real3D and Cinema 4D, but all the same fascinating. I played with it on and off through the years, eventually on a regular PC with Windows where I had enough performance to program/script looped animations.
