Hmmm, how would that be done? I have not yet ever used such as an 
object_pattern  texture_map.

About the scene:
- most of the cylinders are randomly placed,
- all cylinders have different sizes,
- all cylinders have a texture of map_type 2 (cylinder-type texture).

Marc, can you write more information about such object_pattern 
texture_maps?

Greetings, thanks,

Sven

For object_pattern
http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/3.6.1/386/

for texture_map
http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/3.6.1/353/

something as
#declare Bays=union{all_your_bays}//you must declare your bays as an
textureless object (a union in this case)

#declare Overall_texture=texture{
                                                    object{Bays

texture{your_texture}//the NOT bay texture

texture{Bay_texture}//the bay texture
                                                                }
                                                    }

long while ago under another name...  oh, my secrets out.

Hi J.. -ah, Povman!

Thanks a lot for your maybe golden hint. I downloaded the .pov file but have 
not tried it out yet, because I am at the end of this day. I am going to 
render fantastic worlds in my dreams very soon.

Thanks a lot, please expect my feedback! Best greetings,

Sven
