Hey hoo,

Nice with some comments, as long as it doesn't develop into a "war", and
so far it hasn't.  :o}  I like the way you expressed your thoughts Ryan.
Personally I am wether a fan of imagemaps or procedural textures, I'm
sort of neutral.

BUT I try to understand why these questions arise in the first place. I
think, the thing we must understand here, is that artists want praise
for their "work". They don't want, or deserve, praise for something they
didn't work for... With imagemaps, no one knows how much work has gone
into the picture, the final raytracing, and how much praise it deserves.
That's why some of us don't want to use imagemaps. It's frustrating,
when people can't find out how to credit our work.

But I'm afraid it's an illusion to think, procedural textures are safer
to use.. They don't necessarely show the truth either; the truth about
the amount of work behind the picture. A lame POV-user can grap and use
whatever procedural texture he finds...
