What happened is that texture used to have interior as part of it.
Then interiors became it's own thing - separate from texture.
So to apply both to an object, you need to put them in a material {} statement.

material {} does accept a pigment {} statement directly.

So just do

material {
     texture {pigment {}}
}

and that will work.

the code below runs for me using a beta.2.  hth.

Many thanks!
I thought texture encapsulation was more complicated, now it works!

GREAT!
I restored the old declare!
Left = a car silver from my old render 2002 vers.2.??
Center = BAD !!! my attempt to restore the old code into vers 3.7
right = very well for me ! with your help
Many thanks to all!

PS. I don't have a great ability to render realistically. I dedicate myself to
geometry, code and projects, usually, but this for my needs is more than
satisfying!

nice models, a forecourt (like a car dealer) or a parking lot, just .. an
overview, would be v cool though (I suspect you've "a collection" :-)).

Thanks!
Not many vehicles, this is an overview of my stable. I have many objects made
over many years but also for interior architecture, let's say I have the
essentials. Vehicles and people are the only ones that are born from the web,
even if I work a lot on them to lighten, correct and above all optimize because
they are always very heavy. And I have to use many of them in my projects ...
NB. for the trees instead I use my algorithms ..

hey, thank you very much.  (I like the newer VW shape much better than the old
60s "hippie express" :-))

sounds nice :-).  agree that stuff taken from the web needs to be "cleaned up"
carefully.

and again, thanks for "whipping up" that scene.

Thanks to you jr

I apologize for the atmospheric effect of not the best quality, but for work
it's enough for me.
On the other hand, when I'm having fun ... :)

What about publishing some of your code?
A car or even the persons is a hell of work, no matter how buggy the code is.

ok, I use my own parser for CAD that uses a very rich library of include files
that call each other.
This can generate problems on installations other than mine.
In addition, through the cad I create empty layers that only serve as keywords
that tell pov ray how to operate on the settings.
I will try to make the subjects autonomous and little by little I can post them
as stand alone (include files with three lines with final slashes that serve,
removing the slashes, to display, with a minimum of point of view and lighting)
BR!
