A little bit overdue...
http://www.oyonale.com
There's a list of the new stuff in the main menu.
In a nutshell:
- The image "Reach for the Stars" and its "making of", rendered in orbit
exactly 1 year ago. The poster can be ordered at
http://www.povray.org/posters as Ken already told you a few messages ago.
- Several new 3d images (with larger versions for a few of them)
- 10 years of raytracing, with all my POV-Ray images including older stuff,
test images and commercial images
- Some new fractals
- A couple of macros (snow and clouds) with complete demo scenes and a
xfrog->povray tutorial
- Some images are now available as cards (customisable) at Zazzle.

I'll add other things in the next weeks, particularly mesh objects, but I
just got a bigger disc quota.

Great work!

I particularly liked the '10 years of raytracing' pages - nice to see your
early images...  For example i was quite astonished about:

http://www.oyonale.com/histoire/images/fjord.jpg

which seems to follow a concept quite similar to what i used for my
iceflows some years later...

I also saw that you occasionally took some idea from an older image some
years later for a new interpretation.  These reoccurring ideas make the
collection even more interesting.

I still have to try your new include files in detail.  The clouds really
look like a clever idea, i just think it would be nice if generating them
would be less complicated.  Ryoichi Suzuki's density_file extension patch
might be useful since it supports text files which could be written from
within SDL.  Of course the file sizes would be larger. Another idea i got:
One main reason for the fast render is that the clouds are individual
objects so not the whole air is media that has to be sampled.   This could
also be achieved by creating an appropriate container object (a mesh or a
blob for example).  

I think it would be good to put the sample files and macros together in a
package so they can be obtained at once.

Oh, I really like "Family"! This is my new background!

Also very interesting.

Keep up the good work!

I just checked it last night after noticing that you'd changed the copyright
to say "2003" a few days ago, and having seen your "Family" creation on
Zazzle.

Very cool!  I'm going to go browse around some more now...

Stunning new images, as usual...  Well done.

A quick question on your "Making of The Dark Side of the Trees": You
mention that the terragen camera should be set to zoom-factor 1 to
produce seamlessly tiling skies, but your .tgw file sets it to 1.007.
Which is the correct setting?  (I didn't fancy rendering large enough
skies to see the difference clearly).

Well done as usual Gilles. I like the 1993-2003 section.
It's fascinating to see the development you've made over
time. And it's also a nice visual history of the changes
to povray(and processors ;) ).

Thanks for reporting this, it's fixed now! I don't know what happened (I
probably used the slider instead of typing the value). The difference was
probably barely visible anyway.

Absolutely nice! I asked myself wether you have some kind of art education? 
Lighting and composition of your images are so good!

Thanks!
I hesitated before publishing the old pics, because many of them are just
bad and do not deserve it, but it was just too tempting to document the
history of POV-Ray that way, and to show how the new features (official or
not) were introduced, and how long it took for them to become mainstream for
POV-Ray users. "crackle" was quickly adopted for instance, but radiosity and
isosurfaces became popular only recently.
