Heard, loud and clear. Plus, I went back and rendered the old metal
textures, and I don't think they will be missed. The portfolio scenes
don't give a realistic impression of how hideous they are.
The ambients all default to zero, but for maximum flexibility, the
revised include files retain a provision for a small ambient. I
included this provision due to my experiments last November.
All these images were rendered without radiosity, because with radiosity
in POV-Ray 3.8, the ambient issue becomes moot. But as I wrote in the
OP, the high ambient values are not the only problem with the textures
as they have been.
If you all like these, I will post the revised include files to p.b.s-f
(and also figure out how to do branches and pull requests).
