I've started building an interactive GUI interface for building textures in
POVRay, using 3.1g's syntax. Before I go on this astronomical task, has
anyone already done this? I havent been able to find a decent utility that
uses all aspects of POV's pigment/normal/finish abilities (e.g. layers,
averaging pigments/normals, visual slope map editor, etc) ?
I've started laying out the dialogs and forms. So far the interface looks
really good, and pretty intuitive. If real life allows, I can have a demo
working within a couple weeks. Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions?

Have you looked at the Material Editor in Moray?
It doesn't have the visual slope map editor, but it does pretty much
everything else that I can think of.
Bye for now,

Would you then consider something portable?

MacMegaPOV has some visual tools for this kind of thing...I'm not sure
if it does layered textures, but it has tools for basically everything
else you mentioned, as well as objects, etc. However, it is Mac
only...and I didn't see any screenshots on the web site.

Is Moray freeware? Will yours be?
If you're looking for suggestions....
One thing I've always wanted in a texture editor is real-time updates and
how the texture looks on different (basic) shapes with light sources at
different angles.

I might. Right now the forms are layed out in Visual Basic, but I guess the
non-windows crowd needs some love too =). I know GTK/GDK, but Im too lazy to
install linux right now =)

Moray isn't freeware, but by the sound of things, this will be.
If you've not looked at Moray, http://www.stmuc.com/moray is the home
page for it.
Bye for now,
Jamie.
