The POVRay extensions I added to pmask make no use of time except as a loop
counter.  This is fine if you are just rendering a scene.  If you want to do
an animation you would want to have the objects you defined changing over
time.  Moving, getting bigger or smaller, flocking, rotating, etc.  I think
animations may use something like 10-60 frames/sec.  I haven't really done
many animations in POVRay but it would seem to make sense to do the modeling
at a higher level and just use POVRay as the rendering engine.
