this one is my try to get (nearly) realistic tiles. maybe they could
be found in ball house.
tiles are made with bumps. height_fields are bumped, too. 
height_field on the left side is created with Gimp's brush "showing
finger". who will believe it? 
image is conerted to jpeg to make it smaller. POVRay creates PNGs with
> 1mb. will there be a output format for JPEG2000 in following
POVRay-versions?

any thoughts, suggestions to make it better are welcome.

the textures are nice on the tile. it looks like you came up with a suitable
finish.I think the edges are too pronounced, like there isn't any grout in
between the tiles.

as for png... gimp can do a good job of compression on png's, atleast for my
uses it has. Is it that you want the rendered image to be compressed more,
instead of having to do it yourself?

you mean textures may end up at corners?

no, nothing to do with textures in reference to the edges of the tile. just
that there is a straight vertical edge instead of a sloping towards the
grout or cement between tiles.

just a nitpick. over all, the tiles themselves are quite nice.
