Knowledgebase:Object Collection migration

GeoCities

Recently, an effort has been begun to migrate POV-Ray scenes and objects from web pages hosted by the now defunct Geocities to the POV-Ray Object Collection. Discussion toward this end has occurred on the POV-Ray newsgroups, here, here and here. A log of sorts exists here.

WikiMedia Commons

In addition, there are also a number of objects/scenes that exist on Wikimedia Commons that were published under a compatible license, and include the POV-Ray source code. A tentative list follows:

• Pentatope of 70 spheres animation original
• Pyramid of 35 spheres animation original
• Truncated octahedra
• Rhombic dodecahedra
• "poly.pov" - polyhedra library
• AGK pentacube
• Angular Parameters of Elliptical Orbit (includes source for related images)
• Bubble memory driver coils and guides
• Bubble memory guide patterns
• C core
• CRT color (source code is in a sub-page, and includes source for other images)
• Carbon nanoribbon chiral povray (there are also several other similar images by the same author)
• Cavallo's multiplier labelled (source code is on the talk page)
• Chain (licensed under the GPL, but not CC; source is linked to but is off-site)
• Euclidian and non euclidian geometry
• Hall effect
• Jack plug

It is also good to check the category of POV-generated files:

• Category:Created with Persistence of Vision
