Agreed. Realistic cloth makes for very impressive graphics.
So ... any volunteers to model her some more modest clothing?

OH THAT WOMAN ANNOYS ME!
- It scares people away, because of the semi-nudity.
- It's so un-povish.
- It's ugly.
No, seriously. I think that having a semi-nude model not even generated in
Povray on the front page; splashing in your face like that can scare some
people away; especially younger people. And _I'd_ doubt the seriousness of
the product.
And certainly no-one wants to claim that this is made in Povray. Rendered,
perhaps, but that's not good enough; whatever reason the designer had to put
it up.
And it's not a very pretty woman, either. Too skinny. That kind of woman
that makes girls try to loose weight, and so on. I mean it.
Regards,
Simen Kvaal.

Those "Under Construction" messages really are bad to the side. It very
unproffessional to even think of leaving such a message. In general,
designers should rather write something in general about that section,
instead of leaving such a big gap. And especially when the UC/FP-ratio is so
high... (Under Construction vs. Finished Page).
One might argue that the colors are a bit dark. There's in general no
problem with dark colors, but here the contrast on the menu-side is way too
low. It looked fine on my monitor, but that's because of my settings and the
lightning in my room at this time ... ;-)
I'm also sick and tired of the Comic Sans (TM) font. This font is over-used
and should be avoided at all cost. I must say that in this context, it works
better than in other places I've seen, though. There are so many good,
freeware fonts out there, so finding something _a bit_ more original
shouldn't be any problem.
Regards (again)
Simen Kvaal.

but on the other hand, I find the 'Please download this font to view this
page
properly' messages irritating. I like to be able to view a site without
downloading
plugins, fonts, applets etc, etc, etc

IIRC comic sans is a default style-sheet font, hence its apparent over-use.
Where is comic sans showing up? (I can't see it anywhere, which makes me
think I'm defaulting to another font) - oh, wait, do you mean on the menu
bar?
What seems a little odd (apart from the various screen-res issues and
babe-alert raised by others), is that the style-sheet settings are embedded
in each page rather than being acquired from a separate file. This will make
modifications to the page more fiddly IMHO.
Apart from that, I quite like it dark. My only feeling is that if you are
going dark, then go black (or purple, hell, anything but brown).

There are usually a lot of things you can't see on a page when you receive
it: Server side includes allow you to put a page together just like POV-Ray
scene #declare and #include. In this sense server side scripting would add
#macro capability :-)
While only few web space providers offer it for free, if you own the server
(or pay enough for your web space) it is no problem.

The latest Poser models are bundled with clothes and there are many
other freely available on the various Poser sites. Granted, it looks
like the standard Posette wears nothing but see-through lingerie, but
with a little searching more "modest" clothes can be found.
I have a scuba diver suit, for instance. This shouldn't be too
offending...

I still recovering from the fact that _anyone_ would be put off povray
by the sight of _rendered_ scantily clad females... Kind of implies they're
put off by a whole host of other art forms...

Cool. Are there any plans for further images & tutorials in the future ?
I've been thinking about this a bit and it shouldn't be too difficult to
achieve - there's a whole community of experienced POV users right here,
regularly contributing help, advice and tutorials - I'm sure there's more
than enough talent here to produce regular tutorials on POV's features, a
lot could be done with what information is already available 'out there' (of
course then you've got the issue of getting permission to use stuff).
