The lost Gardens are on my program, but I have to go alone since my wife is not
interested in gardens. It the same as for art galleries. Didn't we had a very
nice IRTC entrance with the Tate Gallery, St. Ives (the minimalism round, if I
remember correctly?).

Best regards,
Michael

Better than I can do. :-)
If I wanted to write something in German. I would ask Michael to 
translate as he is German.
There is an international forum here where English is not mandatory.

That is all that is required. :-D

I think that the model I have is a bit "over the top" for what you want. 
If I have the time tomorrow I will make a simple tube where you can 
change the numerals in the PovRay Script.

Sorry Andrew,
I've not done it yet. :-(
A question.
After looking at your website. I think that a simplified model would fit 
in better.
Do you agree? (You can say no.)

If yes, I will upload it to povray.binaries.scene-files on this server.

If no, Tell me what you want in detail.

Hmmmm, thinking...

That was nice.

Something like this, with the grid before the digits 0-9 and the background
sheet according to the numbers. But with some sparkle / reflection to the
digits, only within the tube. The background of the image I can then adjust
itself and the colors of the numbers.
That would be my wish. Great if that were possible.

Otherwise, it can also be a round Nixie from above, is a different type and
would probably be easy to make !?

Can you post a photo once in Binary?

My images, ie 11 digits, have a width of 11,000 pixels.
The original designed image is then reduced by up to 3000px 550px, depending on
the application. A tube would thus be about 1000 pixels wide.

There's no hurry, thanks for the work.

Cheers Andrew

You will be able to do that yourself.
I will supply the code for the tube(s) and basic camera and lights.
I use machine generated code so it will be easy to read and modify.
It is better to learn PovRay by a hands on method.

I've posted an image of what I've done so far, in p.b.images.

Is this the sort of thing that you are after?
