Hi folks,

Does POV-Ray support bitmap textures or will it ever do? Is there a
way/program to convert bitmap textures to POV-Ray textures?

Thank you for any info!

Henryk

Yes, just look up "image_map" in the Povray Docu.

I don't really understand that question but i suspect the an image_map texture
is sufficient for your purposes.  If not some more detailed explanation would
help.

Yes, look for "image maps" (and "bump maps") in the povray docs. If you 
would like to apply them to Bezier patches, you should also have a look
at the (unofficial) megapov and its uv mapping.
